It is also thought that they have the ability and motivation to reward people with happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With gnomes being associated with such things, along with other attributes such as their cheery disposition,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.letitbegnome.com\/gnome-hat-color-meanings\/\">big hats<\/a>&nbsp;and quirky clothing, it is natural that they are popular with people and make for a great talking point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.letitbegnome.com\/the-history-of-garden-gnomes\/\">course of their history<\/a>, some people have researched whether gnomes are supposed to represent some kind of real-life creatures but there is no concrete evidence that this is the case.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The gnome is a creature from Germanic folk tales that has been depicted as good luck charm and helps around the house.
