Mast English of all the Christmas
customs is the Yule. log, though -even
that gone...back to pagan times, when
bonfires were lighted in -honor 'of the
Nurse god Thor. The Yule fire has
always been the very heart of the
holiday celebration,. not only for its
glow and its warmth, but for its mys-
'
tic power to cleanee. the heart of an-
ye.ax to come -these dtays are called
the Keys to the Weather.
Of course, there is a Ohristmas din-
ner, but while there are usually goose
and ham, with vegetables and dein-
ties, there is no one dish aIS con-
.sidered .specially appropriate to the
day, as there is with us. It is the joy-
ens spirit of the whole season, rather
than any feasting or giving of Pres"
enta, which. mains the Trench Noel
