Yule Love It

April 8
When the Norse became Christians, they retained their winter solstice log-burning custom and gave the name "Yule" to mean Christmas. The tradition found its way to the Anglo Saxons, and the log became equally important in England. A portion of the Yule log is saved each year to light the next year's Yule fire.
