Last night Tim was driving me home from TKD. I was looking at all the Christmas decorations.
Laura: What purpose does Mrs. Claus have? Does she provide a family structure?
Tim: She recieves the yuletide log.
Laura: She does? A yuletide log? What is that anyway? You know, I made a yuletide log once. I decorated it with pine cones, glitter and stuff and brought it home. My parents said "What is that?" I told them it was a yuletide log. "What does it do?" they asked. I said "I don't know." What does it do?
Tim: . . . .
Laura: I mean seriously, are you supposed to burn it? Is it the ultimate in special logs?
Tim: . . .
Laura: Hm. So what does Mrs. Claus DO with the yuletide log?
Tim: . . .
Long seconds pass.
Laura: You're going to hell.
Tim: But Santa is already the devil!

"Traditionally, the Yule log was brought in on Mothers' Night, it was then set ablaze and hoped to burn all Twelve Nights..." (http://www.friggasweb.org/yuletide.html)
bert & i had never even heard of this yule log that you speak of... i thought Mr & Mrs Clause were a creation of those cartoons that they show during the Christmas season. hmmm... wonder what other holidays i have skewed perspectives of???
*snrk*
I can totally hear that conversation between you two in my head. :-)
