The Yule Log
The Yule log is a log that is traditionally burned in the fireplace on Christmas Eve. The log is said to represent the log that was used to bring the new-born Jesus Christ into the home.
Christmas Trees
Christmas trees are a symbol of Christmas, and are often decorated with lights and pictures of Santa Claus. Christmas trees are usually put up in homes and public places in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Did you know that the Christmas tree is a relatively new tradition? The first recorded Christmas tree was in Livonia in 1582. The tradition then spread to other parts of Germany before eventually making its way to the rest of Europe and then the world.
