It's just not Christmas without a flaming goat. Or was that a flaming plumb pudding? I forget...
The goat ate the flaming puddin', I'd wager. Goats, especially the goats on cartoons, are notorius for eating stuff.

"Since 1966, just 10 of the 13-meter (43-foot) -high goats have survived beyond Christmas Day."

Sounds like it's time to stop building the goat.
