Kael's Holiday Heritage Doll for school

JuleBukk

Norwegian children always remember a little gnome Nisse at Christmastime. He guards all the farm animals, and he plays tricks on the children if they forget to place a bowl of special porridge for him.Norway has its gift-bearing little gnome or elf. Known as Julebukk or "Christmas buck," he appears as a goat-like creature. Julebukk harkens back to Viking times when pagans worshipped Thor and his goat. During pagan celebrations a person dressed in a goatskin, carrying a goat head, would burst in upon the party and during the course of evening would "die" and return to life.

We made this Yule Goat aka JuleBukk for Kael's Heritage Doll for school and spent way too much time on it. So, therefore it deserves its own post. Here's to the Julebukk and what it is "suppose" to look like.
