New year's rituals (Patreon)

There is no telling whether the jackdaws are a sufficient agent for destroying the Gävle goat, so we had our own ritual. I neglected to get one in time, so we couldn't find a decently-sized straw goat on a last minute notice - but fortunately there was a package of tiny christmas tree decoration miniatures still on the discount rack, and it was perfect!

The goat has been sacrificed, our duty has been done. Here's to hoping that 2024 will be good!
