A folk tale depiction of Father Christmas riding on a goat.
The Yule goat is a Scandinavian and Northern European Yule and Christmas symbol and tradition. Its origin may be Germanic pagan, and has existed in many variants during Scandinavian history.
Modern representations of the Yule goat are typically made of straw.[1] The custom of wassailing is sometimes called "going Yule goat" in Scandinavia.
