The Julbok is a popular figure in Scandinavian Christmas traditions. Today the Yule Goat is especially prominent in Swedish winter celebrations, and nowhere is the Julbock more spectacularly celebrated than the Swedish city of Gävle.
Every year since 1966 , Gävle residents have constructed a 43-foot high straw Julbok.
While we craft, we’ll view a livestream of the famous Gävle Goat, and enjoy some sweet Scandinavian treats.
