December 11, 2021


 Our 11th yule calendar surprise comes from Nawagrim! He is an old friend of mine, and only a friend, as yer might remember from the ceremony we had a couple of years ago. Now, Nawagrim has written a yule song. Come and sing along, for Yule is only once a year!

 

Here's Nawagrim enjoying a day out in nature and... eep

 

 

Yule is only once a year


The year it has been very long
But now that all our work is done
It's time to sit down with our friends
To eat and drink and celebrate

Around a table we all feast
With ale and wine and grub to eat
There's song and dance and laughter too
There's him and her and me and you

When all our chores this year are done
It's time to rest and have some fun
Time to be with all those dear
For Yule is only once a year
For Yule is only once a year

If you see a mistletoe hang
Go find a friend near if you can
Hug or kiss them if you dare
And bring them merry Yulish cheer

There's lone or grumpy hobbits too
Remember them as well on Yule
If you know or see one go say “Hoy!”
Do a friendly thing and give them joy

When all our chores this year are done
It's time to rest and have some fun
Time to be with all those dear
For Yule is only once a year
For Yule is only once a year

When all our chores this year are done
It's time to rest and have some fun
Time to be with all those dear
For Yule is only once a year
For Yule is only once a year



This yule song sounds very similar to a non-traditional Finnish yule song. Here it is!
