The Christmas Goat

I know Christmas is over but I had a Finnish Christmas song I used to hear ad nauseum stuck in my head so I Googled the Finnish word for Santa...and learned this fun fact.  One downer about being part of a community with almost no representation in the United States (or the world, really) is that you don't have opportunities to absorb facts like this at a tender age where you would still have sufficient wonder and imagination to be unfazed by the idea of a Christmas Goat.


Joulupukki is a Finnish Christmas figure. The name Joulupukki literally means Yule Goat.
