Gone Goat. The Gävle Goat - who did not burn - is being dismantled this morning. Live feed still running on website if you like watching big machines at work.

Has the goat burned?
No! The Gävle Goat has survived the night to enjoy the last day of Yule and the first day of 2023, with a little fresh snow to end the season.
My vigil is over. See you in December for Goat Watch 2023!

One more update tomorrow morning, the last day of Yule and the first day of 2023 and then my Julbocken vigil is over. (Though I might sneak in an update about midnight Swedish time. 😁)

Has the goat burned?
No. It's a happy snowy goat this morning, with the morning sun turning the theatre behind him into a golden palace. 🌞

Since everyone getting a paper card should have them by now, it's time to reveal this year's card art.
Has the goat burned?
Quick check in to see if it made it through the night after officially making it to Christmas Day. Yes! Gävle Goat is having a white Christmas.
Happy Christmas! 🎅🎄🎁🇸🇪
Now it's past the milestones of the Winter Solstice and Christmas Day, we're into the final stretch of the vigil - through to the end of Yuletide on New Year's Day. 🤞

It's 1:25AM in Sweden, and the #gavlegoat is still standing this year. And it looks beautiful.
Extra goat update! Firebugs despair. It's now December 25th in Sweden and the Gävle Goat is still standing. It made it to Christmas without any local arsonist getting on Santa's naughty list. 🎅 (Just hope it's still there when I get up in the morning!)

I surprise myself at how much joy I feel seeing the #GävleGoat survive the annual arson tradition.
