He made it into the new year 🥰 They will take him down in the next few days but look how snowy 🥺

A goat I drew at a punk bar 🌿 - Mechanical pencil & Micron Pen -

" Gott nytt år mina vänner! Ta hand om varandra och tack för all kärlek och värme 2024!🎆🫶🏼 Happy new year my friends! Take care of each other and thank you for your love and warmth in 2024!🎆🫶🏼"

the one and only @gavlebocken.bsky.social, mightiest straw goat of them all.

Ring out wild bells to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light: The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die

The destruction of the Gävle Goat as a prophylactic neccesity for the prosperity of civilisation is a myth. It is the hatred you carry for the Goat, the wish for its agony and death, that has you under its curse. Mend the hatred in your graven mind or suffer further.

Gävle Goat made it this year! The true GOAT

Every holiday season since 1966, the city of Gävle, Sweden, has erected a giant Yule goat made of straw in the town square. This festive symbol has become famous not only for its impressive size, but also for its history of repeated arson. ➡️ w.wiki/_BC2

Last year, after an ongoing discussion elsenet about the gavlebocken and how the goat is *not actually* supposed to burn, I made a flame-proof goat:

Don't forget to receive new clothes before Christmas Eve. 'Tis the season for Jólaköttur. #yulecat #jólaköttur #jólakötturinn

Braving the storm..

BREAKING: Gavle Goat still there!

«QISmaS gha'cher» = "julgeten" ≈ "julbocken" Satt och jobbade med en John Bauer-målning häromdagen, och råkade producera den här silhuetten när jag satt och justerade lagren. Det passade inte in där jag skulle använda bilden, men jag gillade den, så ville dela med mig av den.

Good Yule to all Feast and be merry. Hail! The sun returns! #art #Modranacht #yule #julbock #yulegoat #pagan #paganism #paganart #heathen #heathenry #norseart #norse

Gävlebocken on vielä pystyssä! Go Gävlebocken 👍👍👍

We live. We fight. We Christmas. God Jul.

More like: "I'm still standing..." *Elton John at the piano* (sorry couldn't resist)

Really interesting when you think of how last year’s Gävlebocken was devoured by birds.

🎶 I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree tops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow, oh, the snow 🎶

Still here defying the odds.

När Söderhallarna skulle bygga julbock på Medis 1992 gick uppdraget till Bajen Fans. De grönvita knegarna var inte sena att utnyttja förmånen gratislunch (med given bira till), något som ej föll i god jord. BF-bocken blev klar men brann sedan upp strax efter julafton. Fett äkta!

Tonight’s sketch is in honor of and inspired by the Gävlebocken (aka the Yule Goat). #dailysketch #digitalart #procreate #yulegoat #gävlebocken

Teeny tiny Gavlebocken.

Ingen ko på isen (there is no cow on the ice ☺️).

Gävlebocken - Christmas goat 😍

Have you fools learned nothing?

Update: Alive and well

" Jag bär kanske inte ljuskrona som Lucia, men jag lovar att mina horn lyser fantastiskt ändå ✨ I might not wear a crown of candles like Lucia, but I promise my horns shine just as brightly ✨ "

ADVENT DAY 13 - Santa Lucia December 13th is the Feast Day of Santa Lucia. It is the festival of lights celebrated in Sweden, Norway and in parts of Finland. It also marks the start of Christmas in Scandinavia and is meant to bring hope and radiance to the darkest time of the year.

Happy Santa Lucia. The longest nights of the year have arrived. Enjoy the Yuletide!

Saw a video taken from today of the Swedish Air Force in their Christmas tree formation, flying over the Gävle goat. The Christmas season truly is here.

Gävle Goat livestream update - still standing.

“Som storebror till denna stjärna, kan jag säga att jag är stolt som en bock! Brorsan glänser verkligen i sin bästa bock-look 🐐✨ As the big brother to this star, I am so proud! Little brother is really shining in his best goat-look 🐐✨”

What did this gentle jackdaw say just now? 🪶

Har ni sett att Gävlebocken skaffat Blsk? Finns även länk till livesändning i profilen. En gåva till oss som inte riktigt sover när man borde.

Renewal and destruction are two sides of the same coin
