Here's a Christmas tradition you've "goat" to see

I love finding out about the various Christmas traditions across Europe.  One of these is the Gävlebocken - the Gävle goat - which is a very famous attraction in Sweden.  It's a giant version of the the traditional Swedish 'yule goat', made of straw, and it's erected every year in the Swedish town. Sadly it's become a target for arson over the years and it's even treated with a flame-retardant substance to stop it going up in flames. Here's hoping that it survives until Christmas :) You can find more information on Wikipedia about the history of the Gävle goat.  Check out the live webcam at http://www.visitgavle.se/sv/gavlebocken

The goat also has its very own Twitter account!  Follow it at https://twitter.com/Gavlebocken
