	Yule Log
		A Yule log is a large log which is burned in the hearth as a part of traditional Yule or Christmas celebrations in some cultures.
		To all Europeans, the Yule Log was believed to bring beneficial magic and was kept burning for at least twelve hours and sometimes as long as twelve days, warming both the house and those who resided within.
		Bringing the yule log in was, as recently as the 19th century, as much a part of the pre-Christmas festivities as putting up an evergreen tree today.

		Yule is actually a span of thirteen days, usually counted from the night before the solstice (19 or 20 December, as it varies from year to year), to the thirteenth night, (usually January 6 called "Twelfth Night" later by Christians).

		This Yule tree was considered to represent the luck of the family (as the old Bairnstock did) as well as being honoured as a powerful wight in its own right, capable of bestowing fertility in the coming year.
