What to do with Yule Trees after the Holidays

What Do You Do With Your Yule Tree After the Holiday is Over?

The Yule tree is evergreen conifer species that are popular for use as a holiday tree. This tree is known across the world for its scenic beauty and unique symbolism. A few common symbols include ivy, pine cones, pine needles, mistletoe, holly, and berries.

Performing a Blessing

If you plan to decorate your Yule tree, you may wish to take the time to perform a blessing. You can do this by playing a few Christmas songs, lighting scented candles, or even making a circle around the tree.

It is also a good idea to ask the tree for permission before cutting it down. Some families choose to perform a blessing ceremony when they cut down the tree.

Tradition

The traditional Yule log is usually made from evergreen, oak, or cedar trees. However, you can also use artificial wood. In some countries, the large candle is used instead of the Yule log.

As you are cutting the tree down, it is a good idea to have a neighbor or a public works department chip it for you. Many towns will also provide mulch.

Origin of Burning a Yule Log

The tradition of burning a Yule Log dates back to medieval times. It is believed to have its origins in pagan worship rites and rituals.

Symbols of a Yule Log

Originally, the Yule Log was made of an entire tree or a piece that was larger than the tree itself. It was a symbol of the health and fertility of the land. It was also a symbolic way to banish negative energy.
