Yule Lad #13 Candle Beggar

In a day when candles were rarer and the only source of light, every child wanted one.  This final Yule Lad who follows your children begging for candles for consumption and light...

The thirteenth was Candle Beggar
- ‘twas cold, I believe,
if he was not the last
of the lot on Christmas Eve.
He trailed after the little ones
who, like happy sprites,
ran about the farm with
their fine tallow lights.[1]
