Well, hope all of you were able to get a few words crossed off today!  One word I found interesting on this list was "yule log".  How many of you know what a yule log is?  I had no idea so decided to look it up.  A "Yule Log" is a specially selected log burnt on a hearth around the period of Christmas.  That's one of those Christmas traditions that is mostly unheard of nowadays.  Do any of you still carry on this tradition?  If so, leave a comment and tell us how you got started!
