Christmas in Stockholm:
Before Santa came to Sweden, a goat
played the main role in the Christmas celebrations. In St Nicholas'
relevations during the Middle Ages, the devil was pictured as a goat.
Later on, the goat became the leading character in little plays
performed by children. In the 18th century a grown-up person, wearing
a goat mask, handed out the presents on Christmas Eve. Nowadays the
goat only takes part as popular Christmas decorations made out of
straw.

1904-1905
Jultomten (Father Christmas)
Jultomten is the Swedish version of the
figure who, in most European countries, gives the children their
Christmas presents: St Nicholas. Before he came to Sweden, the task
of handing out presents was performed by the Christmas goat.
