Yule in The Village

Light snow on the cobblestones

Twinkling lights in the trees

Winter in the Dales

What a wonderful place to be.

Carolers singing in the streets

People mingling here and there

A scent of hot chocolate fills the air

Oh, what a special treat.

Homes dressed in dazzling style

Folks bundled in coats and hats

Children visiting house to house

With Yule baskets of cloved fruit, evergreens and floured wheat.

Bonfires lit in local fields

Crops and trees wassailed with spiced cider

A special feeling is in the air

And the ambiance couldn’t be brighter.

A Yule log set afire in the town square

Gingerbread and spiced cider to be had there

Under the mistletoe is where couples are found

And exchanging of gifts is all around.

Villagers gather 'round the town Yule tree

To decorate and dress it for all to see

With ribbons of red, green, white, silver, and gold

To honour traditions of times of olde.
