Julbocken, with the opening lines ""En jul när mor var liten"", is a Christmas song written by Alice Tegnér.
 The lyrics describe a time when the "Julbocken" (Yule goat or Christmas goat) was still a more popular Christmas gift-bringer in Sweden than the "Jultomten" (Christmas elves or gnomes) or Santa Claus.
 The lyrics describe the goat giving presents, a doll for "Mother" when she was a child, who was frightened when the goat jumped; and for her brother, a drum and a trumpet.
 When the goat is old, he returns to "Mother", who now has children of her own.
The Finnish Landrace, also called the Finngoat (Finnish: "Suomenvuohi"), is a landrace breed of goat originating in western Finland.

 Finngoats are the only breed of goat native to Finland, and originate from native goats crossed with other European imports, especially from Switzerland.
