Christmas Stamps: Gävle Goat

2019's stamps are going to be focused on Christmases around the world. The Gävle Goat is a giant goat structure made of straw, and it's constructed at the start of every December and every December someone tries to destroy it- mostly by fire. Destroying or attempting to destroy the goat is illegal and is punishable by jail time. Highly recommend reading the history of the survival of it.
