Whats the point? You posted this like we have some kind of idea just what the heck this is and have an interest in it. Could you give us some background on why this is important?

It's a Swedish tradition and the folks on the Swedish ping list will probably be interested. Someone from the list usually posts links to when it is built.

As far as background if you follow the link it's all explained there. Oh what the hey, here yunz go.

The biggest Christmas Goat in the world

The strange history of the Gävle Goat began in 1966. A man named Stig Gavlén came up with the idea of making a giant version of the traditional Swedish Christmas goat of straw. The aim was to attract customers to the the shops and restaurants in the southern part of the town centre.

On 2 December the 13-metre (42,6 feet) tall, 7-metre long, 3 tonne goat stood on the square. At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, the goat went up in smoke. The perpetrator was found and charged with vandalism. The Gävle Goat has been burned down 24 times since then.

For less than the energy you spent whining like a lazy little girl you could have googled and found the answer.
