In old days the candle was m ade such a size that it would burn from the time it was lit until midnight. If it went out before that, evil was portended to the family for the com ing year. The Yule log, which many hold should be lit by a brandy preserved from the previous y e a r’s stock, should be blown into a blaze by the maids, but these must have clean faces and hands or the log will not light easily. In the north of Eng land it was once custom ary to let the servants have free drink so long as the log burned.
