In addition to turning the goat 180 degrees to make it easier to photograph, the big snack ice cream for the year was that it had a chance at a historical record since it has not burned since 2016.
Over the years, security has been increased with both guards and double fences. And during Thursday, Visit Gävle was able to confirm that the security was sufficient and that this year's Christmas goat has become historic as the first Christmas goat that has managed three years in a row without being tormented.
This is the first time this has happened during Gävlebocken's 53-year history.
