Total, que esto de la cabra tampoco es solo finlandés... «Julbocken», literalmente la cabra de Yule, es uno de los símbolos escandinavos de la Navidad por excelencia. Os cuento un poco más.

All hail the Yule Goat. A recurring theme in Scandinavian winter traditions is goats. Since Thor rode a magic chariot pulled by immortal goats, is it possible Santa's related to Thor? Chariot = sleigh, goats = reindeer? 🤯🎄🐐

’The night treads heavily
around yards and dwellings
In places unreached by sun,
the shadows brood
Into our dark house she comes,
bearing lighted candles …’
(Lucia song)
— John Bauer 1913

In Austria, St. Lucia’s Eve was a time when special danger from witchcraft was feared and averted by prayer and incense which was carried through each house and every room...

This is Bauer, a 230cm tall 7-eyed beakless owl man with tentacle hands. Do your worst.
If it has to be human-looking, the green-haired one is Guru.
