I don’t know is this is a religious custom, or a secular custom. I just cannot fathom the meaning of a straw goat, except that he’s cute and colorful. Does anybody know the background meaning of this custom?

It’s probably erected to please the muslims.

Eventually, this is how we will conquer Sweden. Think Trojan horse.

from wikipediaThe history of the Gävle Goat began in 1966. An advertising consultant, Stig Gavlén, came up with the idea of making a giant version of the traditional Swedish Yule Goat and placing it in the square.
