Yule

Rooney, nee Joe Yule, Jr., always understood his role in life.

Finally, his mother had enough, left his father, Joe Yule, Sr. and took off to California on an adventure with her son.

"I suppose he has even made the best of things in the letter, but if he can bear arms again by Yule it will be a wonder," he said.

This was at Yule, and the same practice held in the parish school of Thrums.

My dear brothers both, thrice welcome be, Will ye drink Yule with our Majesty?

Three great festivals were held every year, the first of which was celebrated at the new year, in the Yule-month.

Then just after the midnight bells had rung he turned and lit the Yule log, and the players began the enjoyment of their new home.
