So here it is, all dressed up, and only one place to go.
As is tradition (in this house), our Yule Log is dressed with Holly, Ivy, berries, and ribbons; in readiness for being placed on the fire later this evening.
It's forecast to be a reasonably warm day, but even so I'll really get the fire blazing tonight, I don't want any risk of finding lumps of unburnt wood tomorrow morning (which would detract from the good omen).
And if Santa comes by, I'm sure he'll appreciate the extra warmth. I'll leave him some Scotch and a Mince Pie too.
Carols from Kings this evening, and the big day tomorrow; I can't wait.

Yule Log is not something I knew about until yours last year. It's a nice tradition.
Thank you Gayle. Best wishes, Cro x

A lovely tradition Cro ..... our home is dressed for Christmas and ready to receive our children and grandchildren tonight .... A very Merry Christmas to you, Lady M and your family around the world .... eat, drink and be merry. Lots of love. XXXX
Thank you Jacqueline. No tree here this year, but plenty of Glitz. Off to buy the Turkey, and hopefully some Sprouts, this morning; then I'm done. Looking forward to Carols from Kings this evening; to me it is the start of Christmas. Best wishes, Cro x
Happy Christmas Cro. Hope Bok has got a present to unwrap tomorrow.x
He has. Some fancy Dutch dog-treats. He's getting very excited.
Merry Christmas! Hope it's all you wish for. xx
A Happy Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for the year long entertainment.
MAY YOUR YULE LOG BURN WELL.
Happy Christmas and New Year. X
Merry Christmas Cro! I hope your Log burns as you would like it to. x
The log looks too big for the stove but I suppose it is an optical illusion. Have a good day today, I like Christmas Eve and it being a working day. Brings a bit of normality to the scene, people earning a living and working. As you say, Christmas starts tonight with Carols from Kings. That is when it always started for me if I got home from work on time. Happy Christmas Cro xx
My your Yule Log burn bright and well. I wish for you both a very happy Christmas.
You've reminded me that we used to keep back an impressive log for Christmas Day, but I don't think we dressed it. A quiet day for us here in West Wales, everything ready bar the cranberry sauce! Happy Christmas!
I measured the log.... it does fit, just!
Thank you everyone for your best wishes. I am just back from lunatic shopping. I had to visit 4 shops for my Sprouts. It's crazy out there, just pleased I can now settle down to some peace and quiet (until I have to go out).
Don't forget to leave a carrot for Rudolph.
We started yesterday evening with watching the carol Silent Night being sung from different locations around the world and drank a mug or two of warm punch.
Yule never walk alone, Cro!
That is a lovely tradition, Cro, and you certainly made that log look very festive. Merry Christmas and I wish you well in the coming year.

I love your tradition with the "dressed" yule log. Merry Christmas to you! -Jenn
That's a beautiful Yule Log! Hope that you and Lady M have a wonderful Christmas!
I have not missed Carols from Kings for many years Cro and am already looking forward to it. Happy Christmas to you both.
I once listened to carols from Kings on the radio driving from Joburg down to Cape Town, it must have been 1984. The sun was setting over the Orange Free State, great drive, marvellous music. I had been away from home for 2 years and it really brought it home.
Happy Christmas Cro. X
Merry Christmas, Cro.
