1. The vikings used to sacrifice goats at "midwinter" to the nordic gods and often ate goat or lamb at the "midwinter celebration"
2. In old times "The Christmas Goat" was a person who dressed up (before Santa was a thing), broke into peoples houses and shouted profanities and acted "bad" in general" as entertainment.
3. The Christmas Goat (of hay) symbolises the birth of Jesus Christ, sorrounded by goats and hay in the stable.
2. The Christmas Goat was originally a "game" in which a farmworker would dress up as "the christmas goat" and would go from house to house, yelling in peoples faces.
The worse the goat would treat people, the more he would offend the guests, the more nuts and "æbleskiver" he would receive as praise.
