the memories we create

when we love and we care”

About The Author

Rikke Melgaard Liffiton

Rikke was born and raised in Denmark but is now living in Canada with her Canadian husband and their two sons.

 

With an understanding of both Danish and North American Christmas traditions, she has married the tradition of the Danish Christmas Nisse to the North American Christmas celebrations to create a fairytale come true.

​

“Nærvær” is a Danish word that is very dear to Rikke. Translated, it means "being present in the moment". All small gestures of kindness and love can create memories that can be held in our hearts and in our thoughts.

​

Rikke notes that even though The Christmas Nisse has made some cultural changes traveling overseas to
North America, the thought behind The Christmas Nisse has remained the same; they are here to remind us to create special memories filled with Christmas Joy.
