In olden times the Yule Log was very lax-gees it was in- tended that the log should keep smouldering through the twelve days of the Chriatmu season. The people loved to see the firefight dance on their walls, and on their pewter and silver. For many years the flrelight was the only source of illumination in the homes. as con- dlu did not sppear until a. much later date.
