Holly Jolly Bingo Words: Day 2

Ready for the words for the day?  Here's the list....

Northern lights

whipped cream

A Christmas Carol

festival of lights

nativity

tree skirt

fruitcake

Christ's birth

green

quilts

trumpet

bright

cinnamon rolls

mantle

yams

On the list for today was "Christ's birth".  So many times we get all carried away with the hustle and bustle of Christmas, the shopping, the parties, family, friends, giving, receiving, but we fail to remember what we are truly celebrated.  Christmas is a time for us to celebrate when Christ was born, and the joy and hope that His birth means for all believers.  He is the reason for the season.

yule log

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!
