Yule Log Superstitions
- Yule Logs should never be bought.
- Once lit, the Yule log must burn all through the Twelve days of
Christmas otherwise bad luck would visit the household.
- Any difficulty in lighting the Yule log was taken as a bad omen
for the year ahead.
- Yule logs were burnt on the Christmas fire and many people kept a
piece on the log from the previous year as a lucky talisman.
- It is extremely unlucky if the Yule log is touched by a
barefooted woman or a squint eyed man.
- A flat-footed visitor to the house whilst the Yule log is burning
is a bad omen too.
