Yule
(yl)
noun Christmas, or the season or feast celebrating
Christmas. [Middle English yole, from Old English ge½l½l.]
And his wife dealt out stockings, and calico shirts, and smock frocks, and comforting
drinks to the old folks with the "rheumatiz," and good counsel to all; and kept
the coal and clothes clubs going, for yule
tide, when the bands of mummers came round, dressed out in ribbons and coloured paper
caps, and stamped round the Squire's kitchen, repeating in true sing-song vernacular the
legend of St. George and his fight, and the ten-pound Doctor, who plays his part at
healing the Saint -a relic, I believe, of the old middle-age mysteries.
