Each year people try to burn it down.

I think it's pretty cool that they do. Gives the whole thing a more pagan flavour. Yule is pagan after all.

BTW I like yule goats

[The Yule Goat] "wasn't precisely a welcome figure in Finland, where, instead of giving gifts, he demanded them. Scandinavians believed the goat watched them, invisibly, to make sure they were preparing for Christmas properly, because Christmas isn't a hard enough holiday, and what is really needed is an invisible goat watching you and judging you silently. This tradition is still around, by the way — the goat is a Christmas ornament made out of wood, and neighbors will try to sneak them into each others' houses, just to remind their neighbors that they are being watched, and what could be more neighborly? Sometimes Father Christmas rides the yule goat when delivering presents, coming from his home in the mountains of Korvatunturi in Lapland, Finland, where presumably he spends the rest of the year practicing the tango, which inexplicably is tremendously popular in Finland."

Tango is popular in Finland because all other dances are too passionate and not stiff enough.

Me and my brother or our dad dressed up as Father Christmas and Yule Goat to hand out the christmas presents if the whole family was gathered. Usually me as the goat, in an old fur coat and with a hideous mask made from cardboard and fake fur. The little ones were not amused.
