A Yule log is a log burned in the fireplace on Christmas. It comes from various Christmas traditions. The word Yule refers to Christmas day.
Long before Christians rebranded the midwinter festival, people in cold countries celebrated the solstice with special fires of yule logs, and of course, with special food. Yule logs burn with a beautiful fragrance. Cedar and cypress smell good, too. And so do myrrh and frankincense.
The ashes of Yule logs were meant to be very good for plants. This is true, because the ash from burnt wood contains a lot of 'potash,' which helps plants flower.

You can usually purchase fireplace logs at any hardware store or at the grocery store. Home Depot has them for sure. Another place to get them is at certain gas stations.
The Scottish surname Yule is first found on the isle of Yell, in the Shetlands.
