Well, my English mum used to tell me the same story, that you should leave out a saucer of milk. She just called those creatures fairies though (i.e. she used it as a generic term). As @mr_pigeonwizard mentions, brownie might be the more appropriate name. In Sweden I have always been told by many, many people that the nissar are not to be trifled with. They tell me this tongue-in-cheek, but still very firmly. So if I were you I would leave out a bit of milk or a saucer of creamy porridge and perhaps good things will happen!

You are supposed to leave out a bowl of milk or porridge for your nissar (one or several living on your property). If you don't then they will play pranks on you, such as turning all your milk sour. Source: oral Swedish folklore.

In Sweden we do also have dipping day (Xmas Eve). And hence we have the day before dipping day. And, yes you guessed it, the day before the day before the dipping day. I am not making this up.
