The Julbock, or Yule Goat, is a traditional Scandinavian symbol of Christmas. It is often depicted as a goat made of straw and is associated with various folklore and customs. Historically, the Julbock was believed to help deliver gifts during the holiday season, similar to Santa Claus. In modern times, the Julbock has become a popular decoration during Christmas in Sweden and other Nordic countries. Large straw goats are often erected in public spaces, with the most famous being the Gävle Goat in Sweden, which attracts tourists and locals alike each year.
