Our 10th yule calendar surprise comes from Agago and Pozee from the Purple Pipeweed Parlor Band! They have written us a letter concerning their yule log tradition with a drawing attached. Maybe you can get inspired to take a forest stroll and search for some grand yule decorations there too?
A Yule tradition of the Longleafs
Gathering a Yule log
Been
a long tradition amongst us Longleafs to go on a Yule gatherin' walk.
We often gathered wild items in the forest to decorate fer Yule. Most
important wuz the Yule Log. Once ya found it and got it ta yer house
you used some of the decorations to make it into a beautiful Yule Log.
Pine and holly boughs, nuts and dried berries, pine cones galore. Add
a couple a candles and the Yule log wuz the center of yer table
decoration. On the first day of the new year the Yule log was used in
the hearth for the first fire of the year helpin to bring good luck to
those who will gather about it.
(In
the picture) Agago & Pozee Longleaf take to Bindbole Woods close
to the lumber camp at Overhill in search of natural goodies to decorate
for Yule and there they find their perfect Yule logs.
This is what you get when your pets follow you to help find a Yule log. Pet approved.
