Rather than try to recreate the wheel, or the Yule goat in this case, I’m just giving you the direct link to a great article.
Learn about the attempts to keep the Gavle goat from burning down in Sweden this year. Place your bets on which day it will go up in flames! (I’m guessing 12/21.)
“We’ve made it from material that’s a little stronger this year, so it should be much harder to burn down. But we’re aware that the goat is only famous because it gets burned. It would be great if it didn’t actually burn down this year, because that would be the most unexpected result. Then we might really get a lot of attention.”

I laughed out loud when I read people throw gingerbread men at it, and the long list of demises is priceless.
