The Forum Advent Calendar 2021

It has become an annual tradition here on the Forum to construct an Advent Calendar of fanworks in various media, originally based on Minna Sundberg's webcomics, but now an overall celebration of what we as a community love.
Each day from 1 through 24 December, a fanwork treat will be added to this thread, with the grid above becoming live with links to the post as the month progresses.  Many of our finest artists and writers are preparing works for our delight, with many focusing on a festive theme.  We will also be featuring some classics from calendars past.
The (general) target time to reveal each new work will be in the wee hours of Official Fan Forum time.

Let's get our Advent started right, with a terrific contribution from skranken from the Discord community!

The first day of Advent has already gone by for 2021, so the famed Gävle Goat has already been erected.  Many years, arsonists manage to burn it down, but it's survived the last 4 years.  It should be safe this ye- ...oh no, here comes Emil!

... now that Emil (or Lalli?) has made that goat flammable and automotive, Gävle'll have an annual tradition of rebuilding the city, won't it?
