Charlie and Dave and Pat and YOU: The Goat survived through Christmas! (runs 1:43)…..
CHARLIE ROOD – For those that don’t know what this is all about….. GOAT WATCH!!!
Longtime listeners of The WSGW Morning Team Show know we have been “goat watching” for many years. What’s that?
The Gävle Goat in Sweden is a traditional Christmas display erected annually at the Castle Square in central Gävle, Sweden. It 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 and stays in place until Epiphany. Or, until it’s destroyed!
I discovered this goat when I first heard it was burned to the ground and it was captured on “Goat Cam”. At least, the remnants were.
Then, I found out the goat had burned a number of times since it was first erected in 1966.
Well, how could I resist? We started “Goat Watching” to see if the goat burned or survived each Christmas season.
Since we first started watching, more often than not, the goat has burned!

Dec. 23 (UPI) — The organizers of a crochet project in Portugal said they may have broken a Guinness World Record when their crocheted Christmas tree reached more than 55 feet tall.
The Associação de Moradores Unidos da Apelação, a residents’ group in Loures, Lisbon, said the project started as a means of providing social activities for elderly residents after two years of pandemic shut-downs, but the project soon grew to involve 70 people from ages 11 to 88.
“We never thought this project would be so successful. We initially thought of a small tree measuring 3-4 meters and then, as we realized that there would be many people involved, we advanced to a 17-meter [55.7-foot] tree and entered it in the Guinness Book of Records,” project coordinator Catarina Canelas told the Gaudium Press.
The current Guinness World Record for tallest crochet sculpture (supported) is a 52-foot, 1.98-inch crocheted Christmas tree made in Ecuador in 2021.
