It goes back to a time where farmers believed in trolls, and goblins and so one - the goblins lived at the barn - (in a secret place of course) and kind of kept an eye on the farm animals - and made the barn safe and not burning down. And as the bowls with rise pudding - or something else who the goblins like(d) Have myself being doing that some years - and the pigs, horses and chickens was all safe and secure for a whole year
Specially as the original Goblin was a rather nasty group of "living under the ground" chaps, who was both angry and often would act out if they was not treated well.. Many of our fairy tales is centering around goblins and trolls, that we had to placate to be able to live in peace with them... Today it is maybe not anyone who really belive in it - but it is for many a tradition to put out a bowl of rice puding - to give to the trolls, or goblins and so one who is out there...
Many scandinavians believed, more or less that the streets of America was pawed with gold - and got rather disappointed when they got to know it for real - and discovered it was not exactly pawed with gold
