Goats
The history of the traditional Christmas straw goat (Julebukka) set up in the central square of the Swedish town of Jevle is interesting. It was decided to immortalise it in 1966. The first Jevle goat was 13 metres tall and weighed about 3 tonnes. Someone set it on fire on New Year's Eve. And then Swedish vandalism and Swedish stubbornness competed with each other. Several people were imprisoned for arson and attempted arson.
