VexelLaugh Christmas Series — December 19th: The Goat That Saved Christmas

🎄🫅Welcome back to the VexelLaugh Christmas Series — where history gets festive and chaos gets Confusio’d.  

Today’s tale involves a goat, a misunderstanding, and one very confused time traveler🐐🙋

🤣Main Joke

In 17th-century Sweden, the Yule Goat was the symbol of Christmas.  

So naturally, Sir Confusio tried to ride one.  

It did not go well.

📜Short Story — “Sir Confusio and the Rampaging Yule Goat”

       Sir Confusio arrived in Sweden wearing a fur-lined cape and holding a sack of gingerbread.  

He spotted a majestic straw goat in the town square and assumed it was a festive taxi.

“Excuse me,” he said to no one, “I’d like to ride this goat to the nearest feast.”

He climbed aboard. The goat collapsed. Children screamed. A baker fainted.

A local elder approached, horrified.  

“You’ve dishonored the Yule Goat!”

“I thought it was public transportation,” Sir Confusio whispered.

He was sentenced to rebuild the goat using only straw and regret.

🗓️On This Day in Weird History

The Gävle Goat tradition began in 1966.  

Every year, Swedes build a giant straw goat.  

Every year, someone tries to burn it down.  

(Confusio swears it wasn’t him.)

The Ballad of Sir Confusio 

Verse 1:

He drifts through winters no map could know,  

His lantern flickering soft and low.  

Its glow shifts hue from age to age,  

As if time bends beneath his cage.  

Verse 2:

He’s watched the Romans toast the night,  

And Victorians tremble at candlelight.  

His crooked hat tilts to and fro,  

Catching secrets only old winds know.  

Verse 3:

He danced with goats in the fields of frost,  

Unearthed odd customs long thought lost.  

At times he trips the gears of time,  

A half‑missed step, a near‑lost rhyme.  

Verse 4:

Yet everywhere his footsteps land,  

A spark of mischief takes his hand.  

He twists the rules of cheer and lore,  

And leaves you laughing evermore.  

Verse 5:

So when the seasons twist and turn,  

And ancient fires crackle and burn,  

Watch the drifting, swirling snow—  

A crooked hat may pass below.
