How sad! This is one of the earliest burns I recall. Here is a link to an updating picture.
Here is a stock photo of the Julbocken.

Yup, I went to the website just before and after it had burned.
Very sad.
I wish they would at least keep the blog going through Christmas.
They had people wstching this year. How can it happen?
“Whats the point? You posted this like we have some kind of idea just what the heck this is and have an interest in it. Could you give us some background on why this is important?”
For less than the energy you spent whining like a lazy little girl you could have googled and found the answer.
Wow. I’m getting trolled for a post two years after the fact. I must really be special.
D’oh! Just shoot me.
I guess that means six more decades of socialism ...

Sweden’s Christmas goat burned down on opening day
The 2016 incarnation of Sweden’s giant Christmas goat didn’t even manage to last 24 hours, as it was burned to the ground on inauguration day.

Yup! I was watching and saw it right after the curtain pulled away. When I checked back it had burned. Usually if it burns very early it is rebuilt. This year???
