Burning Down the Goat. I bought my ‘jul bock’ yesterday, and, having read this report, am now tempted to set it on fire...

Two men were seen running from the blaze, one of whom was disguised as Father Christmas, said police.

...And the other guy was dressed as a gingerbread man. true.

But can they be so sure that the suspect was disguised as Father Christmas, and not St. Nick himself...

The title of the article I read about it was something like, "Vandals Burn Swedish Goat Again." For some reason, the "again" cracked me up. Like the streets of Stockholm are overrun with flaming goats.

A couple of years ago, it was a jackass from Cleveland who lit the blaze. USA! USA!

Burnt goat offerings are more traditional Christmastime rituals than midnight mass and the nativity scene.

He's also the only one who ever did prison time for burning down that goat. heh.
