I guess I should provide some background.

Gävle goat in 2009

The Gävle Goat (Swedish: Gävlebocken, pronounced [ˈjɛ̌ːvlɛbɔkːɛn]) is a traditional Christmas display erected annually at Slottstorget (Castle Square) in central Gävle, Sweden. The display is a giant version of a traditional Swedish Yule goat figure made of straw. It is erected each year by local community groups at the beginning of Advent over a period of two days.

The Gävle Goat has been the subject of repeated arson attacks; despite security measures and a nearby fire station, the goat has been burned to the ground most years since its first appearance in 1966. As of November 2025, 42 out of 59 goats have been destroyed or damaged in some way. Burning or otherwise destroying the goat is illegal, and the Svea Court of Appeal has said that the offence normally carries a 3-month prison sentence.

Since 1986, two separate Yule goats have been built in Gävle: the Gävle Goat by the Southern Merchants and the Yule Goat built by the Natural Science Club of the School of Vasa.
