Y is for Yule

30 Comments

Yule is a celebration of the winter solstice as well as the Christian holiday we usually call Christmas.

Often you may hear about yule logs being placed on the fire in the fireplace. Basically that’s just a big piece of firewood, usually oak, burned around Christmas time. In days of old, people saved a piece of the previous year’s yule log to start the new fire.

My favourite yule logs are the kind I can eat. They have dates and coconut in them.

If you’d like to get the recipe for them, please check my post from a few years ago.

 

Yule Love Yule Logs

Y is for yule.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

    They look quite different from the edible Yule Logs I know, but they look quite tasty. Enjoy them, and have a lovely Christmas day!

    Christmas is joulu in Finnish, must be from the word yule.
    Merry Christmas to you, Anneli and your family.
