My dance instructor told me that in her home country it's traditional for people to go around on New Year's Day with a goat dressed in human clothing and carol door to door. And when they come caroling at your house you are supposed to feed the goat something like maybe a cabbage (unclear if an entire cabbage or just like, some cabbage) and if you do it will ensure you'll have good luck financially in the upcoming year.

She says this tradition is dying out. I can't imagine why.
