Swedish Straw Goat Destroyed by Fire - Again!

I'm constantly amazed at the strange stories to be found around the world! This one centres on the traditional Swedish Yuletide symbol of a straw goat erected in the town of Gavle. First erected in 1966, the goat has been burned down 24 times since, the latest attack occurring in the early hours of Wednesday morning! The torching now seems to have become a tradition as well!
