[Namron] Yule Log

[Siren Song]

Norway
'Gledelig Jul!'
Norway is the birthplace of the Yule log. The ancient Norse used the
Yule log in their celebration of the return of the sun at winter
solstice. "Yule" came from the Norse word hweol, meaning wheel.
The Norse believed that the sun was a great wheel of fire that rolled
towards and then away from the earth. Ever wonder why the family
fireplace is such a central part of the typical Christmas scene? This
tradition dates back to the Norse Yule log. It is probably also
responsible for the popularity of log-shaped cheese, cakes, and
desserts during the holidays.http://www.history.com/content/christmas/world-traditions
