A large straw goat decorated with red ribbons and lights. It’s head is resting on scaffolding and some students are gathered around the back legs.

Visiting Gävle this weekend for the inauguration of the Gävle goat, a giant replica of a Nordic Christmas decoration. It has become infamous after multiple goats have succumbed to arson since the first was erected in 1966. A second goat has been built nearby by high school students since 1986 and I found this still being built as I went to dinner.
