Yule Goat - 71st Birthday

Born this day in 1952 in Nürnberg at approximately 6 a.m., the doctor was called away from a Christmas party. Mom said he was quite drunk and hilarious. They had a wonderful time!

As a Capricorn, I took note when Kristen sent this link to the Yule Goat. With roots in German Paganism, it is rumored to still influence holiday decorations and music in some places.
