In the spirit of one of my christmas traditions (funny how that evolved) I have crawled out of my hiding spot for some christmassy prompts!

Give me a bunch of characters and I'll draw them under a mistletoe 🌿

#all characters and fandoms are fine hit me up! this is going to be a silly little quick thing #is this me being back after like 3 months right out of the blue? yepp #I didn't see it coming either I feel like I crawled out of my GRAVE I am a zombie #but I am gentol touche #that christmas tradition!!#maybe I can slowly get into drawing like that again but I have no hopes that it will stick #but I can't just lie around I cannnnnnnnnn'ttt #and I have no energy for something big :')#(looks at that lettenhove christmas comic that lies in my folder since like. 2021??? idk)#ONE DAY (maybe)

2023 Gävle Goat!

Well it’s getting to that time of year again, and our watch of the Gävle Goat approaches.

Our thirteen-meter tall straw friend will be inaugurated on December 3rd, and will stand for the holiday season (or until it burns).

Watch the live stream of the goat here!

Looking forward to another burn watch this year!

#Whether it burns or survives watching the goat is my favorite holiday tradition #gavle goat 2023 #gavle goat #gavlebocken #christmas

I feel like the Gävle goat being eaten by birds is its most suitable fate yet, because it brings back two old traditions.

One is the yule goat as a gift giver. This was common in the 19th century, but then Jultomten/Santa took over.

Here's a picture from Elsa Beskow's old picture book "Petter och Lottas jul", with a family being visited by two separate yule goats bearing gifts.

The other pertinent tradition is the raising of a "julkärve", Christmas sheaf, for the birds to eat. This is still done, but not at all to the extent that it was in the mid 20th century.

In Alf Prøysens picture book "Den vesle bygda som glømte at det var jul" (The village that forgot that it was Christmas), it is a sheaf that makes a little girl remember that it's Christmas, and she then raises the sheaf in the flagpole to remind the rest of the village.

Hence, it is as though the Gävle goat has resumed its old position as gift giver, and has turned itself into a gift of a Christmas sheaf for the birds.

...Which also sounds uncomfortable like High Mass, when I think of it...

‘The dogs seem to like you,’ he said. ‘I get on well with animals, sir.’ Teatime’s face was young and open and friendly. Or, at least, it smiled all the time. But the effect was spoiled for most people by the fact that it had only one eye. Some unexplained accident had taken the other one, and the missing orb had been replaced by a ball of glass. The result was disconcerting. But what bothered Lord Downey far more was the man’s other eye, the one that might loosely be called normal. He’d never seen such a small and sharp pupil. Teatime looked at the world through a pinhole. He found he’d retreated behind his desk again. There was that about Teatime. You always felt happier if you had something between you and him. ‘You like animals, do you?’ he said. ‘I have a report here that says you nailed Sir George’s dog to the ceiling.’

-Hogfather (Terry Pratchett)
