What was a yule log?

This was not a chocolate cake as it is today. It was a special ash log and had to be large enough to fit into a Stuart fireplace, which were big. The yule log was chosen on Christmas Eve, wrapped around with hazel twigs and dragged home in triumph.

It was supposed to burn throughout the twelve days of Christmas. We would like to thank the History Re-enactment Workshop, Registered Charity No. 1040799, for permission to use the photograph that appears at the top of this page.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
