The word yuletide re minds me of “Once upon a time,” when I was young and helped to decorate a room for a Christmas party. The letters spelling yuletide were made of holly and cedar on a background of white and made a beautiful and ap propriate decoration. Later on in the “wee sma’ hours” after the young peo- ;)le had laughed, danced and drank each others healths in glasses of float ing syllabub flavored with old peach brandy, a young man looked at the wall, remarked, “IVe been trying ^11 night to spell that word, but can’t make it out.” The word yule means the turn of the sun at the winter sol stice and it is often used for Christ mas. The cutting and hauling of the yule log was a great occasion. An im mense log was hauled from the woods by a team of oxen or horses. It took several men to carry and lay it across the big fire place for a back log that would bum throughout the Christmas season. Nothing new in way of infor mation for older people, yet I doubt if there are many of the younge folk § who know the origin of the yule tide log. Somehow a reminiscent feeling creeps over one at the Christmas sea son.
