A lovely, hilarious story about a town in Sweden, a giant goat, and the relentless drive of arsonists to destroy it every year. Yule love reading it.
“the … primeval urge to set something huge on fire because the sun has disappeared and who knows when it’s coming back.”
Yep, we are indeed strange creatures. And I’m off to watch the Goat. Happy Christmas, y’all.
Thank you for brightening up these days! This is such a joyous tradition! Happy Christmas and may your New Year be full of peaceful thoughts and hope!
This was a wonderful treat. I have cousins who are Swedish, and I may search out this town when I eventually visit again! 🐐
You are the G.O.A.T., Brian!
Fun story. Thanks for sharing. I’m rooting for the goat.
Sheepishly raising my hand as one of those secretly rooting for an innovative miscreant who might destroy the Goat in a delightfully unique way.
So... what do they do with the goat if it makes it past New Year's?
Rather bizarre. I don't know what relative punishments are for crimes over there but 6 months in prison seems excessive for this one.
If only our violence was limited to burning a straw goat around Xmas time … the primeval urge sentence was my fav too! Thanks Brian!
