Believing they are adding to the holiday spirit. Gnomes are a off shoot of dwarves. Now we all know from mythology gnomes have been known to be a little mischievous. For example garden gnomes like to bury themselves in the dirt and cause trouble for humans because they feed off the roots of the plants. This ends up killing the plants the humans are trying to grow. The gnomes body is crafted from grey soft wool and the nose and hat are made with tangled wool.
