Why is GOAT part of our event name? Because the Yule goat is an important part of Swedish and Nordic Christmas celebrations!!
❤️🌲🐐

"In Sweden, people believed the Yule goat to be an invisible spirit that would appear before Christmas to make sure that the holiday preparations were done correctly. The goat eventually took on the role of a gift giver and is sometimes seen in place of or alongside Santa, who is called Jultomten.

A popular Christmas prank was to make a Yule goat out of straw or wood and then place it in a neighbor’s house without them noticing; the family that was pranked then had to get rid of it in the same way.

In modern Scandinavia, the Yule goat has become a popular Christmas ornament and decoration! These modern goats are usually made of straw and bound with red ribbon."
