With less than a month until Christmas, families are already planning their holiday schedule. And of course, among all the activities leading up to the celebration is organizing a delicious dinner. A moment use to spent with family, exchanging gifts and stories, and ultimately eating very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many modern holidays, its origin is intertwined with the Roman celebrations of the pagan festival Saturnalia, held in honor of the god Saturn, which marked the beginning of the winter solstice. During this festival, people held banquets and carnivals, exchanged gifts, and even decorated their homes with candles, torches, and plants such as holly and ivy (for those who don\u2019t know, holly is the plant commonly known as Christmas mistletoe). It also connects to the winter feasts of Yule and Koleda, celebrated in ancient Nordic and Slavic cultures, where they honored the rebirth of light after the shortest day of the year. These festivities were later merged with the Catholic\/Christian celebration that commemorates the birth of Jesus, symbolizing hope and abundance with Jesus arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas log<\/strong><\/mark><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It is also known as Yule log, B\u00fbche de No\u00ebl, or tronchetto di Natale. It is an iconic European dessert of the season. Its base is a Genoise sponge cake, which is filled with cream, dulce de leche, meringue, or jam, then rolled and decorated with buttercream, chocolate, or ganache to give it a log-like texture. Below, I\u2019ve included the recipe: 10 Serves<\/p>\n\n\n\n
