Traditionally the Yule Log was welcomed into the house on
Christmas Eve. After this, a Christmas blessing was set over it and it was
sprinkled with wine before being set alight. After this, it was burnt over the
12 days of Christmas with the remains being used as kindling for the following
year.
Certainly wood, based in Herefordshire has revived this old
Christmas tradition in the shape of a yule log. Each of the Oak Yule Logs is
beautifully gift wrapped and as you can see below is very well packaged and is
priced at £25, making it a lovely unique gift for someone. The box also
contains a box of handmade ‘flamers’ which are certainly wood’s natural
firelighters, along with kiln dried kindling which makes lighting the fire a
lot more simple and straightforward.
A Yule Blessing
Come, Bring, with a noise,
My merry, merry boys
The Christmas log to the firing;
While my good dame she
Bids ye all be free,
And drink to your hearts desiring,
With the last years brand,
Light the new block, and
for good success in his spending.
On your psalteries play,
That sweet luck may
Come while the log is a-teending
My merry, merry boys
The Christmas log to the firing;
While my good dame she
Bids ye all be free,
And drink to your hearts desiring,
With the last years brand,
Light the new block, and
for good success in his spending.
On your psalteries play,
That sweet luck may
Come while the log is a-teending
