It wasn't even December before Sweden's "Gävlebocken," a massive straw Christmas goat display in Gavle, Sweden, met a fiery fate.

Each year, the Swedish town erects a 3.6 ton animal ornament to celebrate the holidays, but in it's 50 years of annual tradition, the goat has been destroyed 35 times (now 36).

According to The Local, the goat cost $249,900 this year and was burned less than 24 hours after being put up on Sunday.

The goat even has a Twitter account, where it tragically announced its death.

Oh no, such a short amount of time with you my friends.

NPR reports that in the Gävlebocken's history of persistent arson attacks, guards have been bribed, cameras have been hacked, and fences have been bypassed with flaming arrows.

This year, the goat-burner timed their attack with a security guard's bathroom break.
