Write a story about Sweden’s giant straw Christmas goat and the almost regular attempts of people destroying it.

In the heart of Gävle, Sweden, every December, a gigantic Goat made from straw is erected, only to face arson attempts, sabotage, guard patrol, and even international interference. Dive into the tradition, the thrill, the rules and the controversies of this odd tradition. Create characters, depict their intentions, and explore the comedic, thrilling or even melancholic undertones of this chain of annual events.
