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.
Y is for yule.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Same to you, Lynette. I hope your weather is not too bad. We’re in for a big wind and rain system for about a day and a half. Battening down the hatches!

Yes, I heard about the bad weather expected for the Island. We’re supposed to get the edge of it with rain here in the valley and lots more snow in the mountains. Exactly, batten down the hatches!

It’s really honking out there. Rain coming sideways. If this were snow, we’d have about two feet of it already.

Yikes! We have a bit of wind but no rain. Extremely overcast, though. Enjoy your day inside – it’s an excellent time for hot chocolate!

Definitely a day for unwinding and staying close to the kitchen and then the recliner by the gas fireplace.

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