There is one thing which you wouldn’t want to be on the blessed and celebrated day of Christmas is a Yule goat that to in any of the Nordic countries. It has been the hearty tradition for many Nordic countries to practice the making of a Yule goat from straw and grass for the day of Christmas, since ritual’s practicing dates back as further as pre-Christian times and pagan’s’ celebration for the winter solstice. One fine day in the year of 1966, a bright idea struck the mind of Stig Gavlén, an advertising consultant to utilize this tradition in a manner such that it becomes a remembered and cherished activity by many individuals in the Nordic countries.
He came up with the idea of constructing a gigantic module of the Yule goat and placing it in the center of the town, the architecture and chief engineer behind this project was ironically his own brother,Jesper Gavlén who was also the in charge of the town’s fire department. The catch of placing the Yule in the center of the town was not to cater it for a decoration piece or piece to marvel and admire its structure. Since who would want to see a giant size of a Yule goat there are already so many wandering around.
Instead to the surprise of many and others’ horrifying amazement the Yule goat, at the struck of midnight on New Year’s Eve would be set on flames and burnt down till the last straw turned into ashes. This terrorizing act of burning down Yule goats in past has been practiced to an estimate of 23 times, it has been set on fire either immediately after it has been assembled or even before being actually complete. Other incidents include running it over by a car or smashing in down into several pieces. A display of ferocious and unexplainable anger is absolutely unquestionable since the practice provides no justification for why it is performed to date.
