Christmas Traditions From Around The World: Sweden

The “Yule Goat” has been a Swedish Christmas symbol dating back to ancient pagan festivals. But back in 1966, the tradition got a whole new life, after someone came up with the idea to make a giant STRAW goat! According to the official website (click HERE for the website), the goat is more than 42 feet high, 23 feet wide, and weighs 3.6 tons. Each year, the massive goat is constructed in the same spot. And fans can even watch a livestream from the first Sunday of Advent, until after the New Year when it’s taken down.
