Oh Gavle Goat, Your Toasty Hooves Delight Me.

I don't honour a lot of Christmas traditions. Most of them seem terribly forced, especially those imported to Australia from more northerly climes.

But I do have one tradition I am fond of.

The Gavlegoat and its near inevitable incineration

That's boss.

I think the community should just accept that a straw goat is a thing that needs to be set on fire and do it at a scheduled time. Not that that would keep pranksters from up and doing it anyway. I always want to do that to the big town xmas trees, but somehow I think I'd be arrested.
