http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule_log Funny. Christmas presents was originally small logs (Yule Claps) in Scandinavia. On Christmas morning we heard a knock ("clapping", hence the word Yule Clap) on their door or on the window, a rural tradition which meant that the village youth sneaking around on Christmas Eve and knocked on the cabins. When someone opened the youth threw a joke gift, which could consist of a piece of wood or a straw figure. On the gift, they often had attached a note with a verse that explained why the recipient is honored with the nice gift. It was important not to get caught in the act during Yule Clap awarding because the verses could be quite nasty and coarse-grained. Christmas presents are still called Julklappar (Yule Claps). |

I heard that Thor doesn't believe in Christmas! Almost every tradition in our Christmas celebration are from Norse traditions. Yule, Yule claps, Yule tree, Yule gnome (Santa) etc. Jesus birth comes in second. |

What ever you do, feed the cats before you go to sleep My stepson works near Walmart. He has assured us he will return with catfood. This day will go down in the cat's memory as the great famine of 2014 when the bottom of their dishes were visible for a whole evening. Reality Internet Personality |
