Notes
You don't need to add candles to the log and can skip this step if you don't want to bother with a drill.
Use any kind of natural materials you have available to decorate your yule log. In addition to evergreens, you can use holly, cinnamon sticks, eucalyptus, faux berries, or dried fruit.
You can also use a split log with a flat bottom. This way it will not roll.
