1. The Yule Goat: Scandinavian Symbolic Visitor
Originating from ancient Norse traditions, the Yule Goat was associated with the god Thor, who rode a chariot drawn by two goats. In Sweden, children eagerly awaited the Yule Goat’s arrival before the popularity of Santa Claus. Today, decorative straw goats continue to adorn homes and public spaces during the Christmas season.
