1t was the custom Of bakers to present
TO their customers at Christmas.
"Yule" is derived either from Scandi-

four times as many explanations or
guesses at the original meaning Of the
word as there are letters in it. 1t has
been said that "yule-log' is a corrup-

and uniform act on the status of H.
