The Gävle goat is getting a lot of attention around here, but I would like to make a case for a couple of other Swedish Christmas goats: The Kävlinge "Horny Goats".

It has been a Christmas tradition in the town of Kävlinge since 2015 to put up a pair of goats in a traffic circle. And for just as long, there has been a somewhat more inofficial tradition that someone will move those two goats into a mating position, giving them the nickname "kåtbockarna" (literally "the horny goats", a Swedish term similar to the English "horndog").

One year an unknown person even put up three smaller goats around the two large ones, to indicate that they've had children.

This year, however, the goats have been positioned in a somewhat less intimate position, simply kissing eachother:

Swedish television news did a short feature where they interviewed citizens of Kävlinge about this latest change, and most of them expressed disappointment, apparently preferring the "horny" version.

Considering that "bock" usually refers to males of the species, this means that Kävlinge has had a public display of gay sex each Christmas for several years, enthusiastically supported by its citizens. I think that's a Christmas tradition well worth celebrating.

If you care about the Gävle goat, this might interest you too:

Horny goats creates a stir in Kävlinge

Seven years ago, the two Christmas goats were exhibited in Solanum roundabout in central Kävlinge. At first they were separate, but already in the first year someone came up with the idea of putting them together in an intimate mating act.

- Some thought it was a really fun idea while others felt "you can't do that", says Camilla Persson, landscape engineer at Kävlinge municipality.

When SVT asks around among those who leave the grocery store opposite the roundabout installation, the tones are mostly cheerful.

- Christmas is quite traditional and boring so I like when it gets a little cheeky, says Hans Olsson.

Siv Nilsson thinks that it's just fun.

- I usually think "god what fun they have doing this". It does not bother me.

Several complaints

Camilla Persson, who is a landscape engineer at the municipality, says that some complaints have been received. It's usually about it looking unworthy or not right for Christmas. When the municipality separate the goats, someone usually arrive the same night and toss them together again.

Have you had any thoughts of chaining them or something like that?

- Yes, we have thought about that, but we think that they should be free and live their lives in the roundabout.

Update: the goats have multiplied
