The Viking settlers in the British isles brought their mix of pagan rituals to mix with the customs in Britain were still mixed Pagan and Christian. So, enjoyed this series and it is the first thing I opened each morning.

We used to make what we called "yule logs" out of old magazines, rolled up very tightly and tied with string, and then soaked in a solution of something, I don't know what it was (should look it up), until they were soaked clear through, and then dried. When burned in the fireplace they would give off beautiful colors. I wonder now if they fumes could have been toxic...? Anyway, that was something I remember my parents doing a few times when I was little. That yule log cake looks good! I guess we don't hear the term "yuletide" much anymore, except in old Christmas carols. Thank you for these wonderful posts through the alphabet. I've missed a few, so may still go back and get caught up. Merry Christmas and Happy Yuletide!Pamela M.
