The Julbuck is found in Scandinavian lore. Up there you see a straw effigy of one, but the custom is that a man in goat's attire distributes presents at Christmas. Originally he demanded presents, but things changed in the 19th Century. He was known to sit under the table.
The Finnish Joulpukki now dresses in a Santa Claus costume.
