Experience The Full Story & Start Your Tradition
This is more than a book, it is a Christmas tradition that
lives on through simple acts of service long after the
final page is turned.
The Blessing Nisser is a Christmas story and family experience
inspired by Danish traditions. Follow Charlotte and two little Nisser,
Rasmus and Ingrid, as they lead her on a Christmas adventure that begins with a simple challenge: bless someone else.
You can read the whole story together in one cozy evening, or enjoy it slowly throughout December as part of your family’s Advent rhythm.
Created by author Kirstie Marx, who grew up in Denmark, The Blessing Nisser gives families a simple, practical way to make service part of their Christmas season.
The Blessing Nisser Collection gives your family everything needed to bring the story to life. Inside, you will find materials to create two handmade Nisser, plus 25 Acts of Kindness Cards, and the Blessing Nisser Book. The kindness cards will guide your family through simple, meaningful ways to bless others throughout the Christmas season.
As your children craft their Nisser and begin completing the cards, the story moves from the page into your home, shaping Christmas with purpose, creativity, and love.

Here’s how it begins:
-
Read the story — meet Charlotte, Rasmus, and Ingrid.
-
Make your Nisser from the items included
-
Choose a card — each one offers a simple act of kindness.
-
Bless someone — a neighbor, a friend, a family member.
-
Watch hearts change — including your own.
And somewhere along the way, something beautiful begins to happen.
Christmas becomes a little less about “What am I getting?”
and a little more about “Who can I bless today?”
The story begins with Charlotte. The blessing continues with your family.
Because the greatest Christmas traditions are not always the ones we unwrap. They are the ones that shape our children’s hearts.

Always has a tender heaRt
Charlotte Olsen is a kind-hearted, curious young girl growing up in Denmark with her two older brothers and younger sister. She loves Christmas, her family, and all the traditions that make December special. Charlotte is thoughtful and caring, but she isn't perfect—her brothers can frustrate her, and doing the right thing isn't always easy. This Christmas, Rasmus and Ingrid have something special in store for her, and Charlotte is about to discover just how much a little kindness can change the people around her.

loves a good adventure
Rasmus is adventurous, curious, playful, and just a little mischievous. He loves Christmas, exploring, and making people laugh, although his curiosity has a habit of getting him into trouble. Thankfully, Ingrid is usually nearby to keep him on track. Underneath all that energy is a very caring heart, and this Christmas, Rasmus and Ingrid have a plan: help Charlotte reach two people who aren't always easy to love—her brother Hans and grumpy old Mr. Andersen, who lives down the street.

sees the good in everyone
Ingrid is sweet, thoughtful, and observant. While Rasmus is usually ready to jump into the next adventure, Ingrid slows down and notices the things others sometimes miss. She is patient, gentle, and has a wonderful way of seeing the good in people—even when they don't make it easy. Ingrid knows Charlotte has a heart for serving others, and she can't wait to see what happens when a little kindness reaches the people who may need it most.
