Seasonal Celebrations & Harvest

Yule

A pre-Christian Germanic midwinter festival associated with the winter solstice, lasting 12 nights and featuring feasting, gift-giving, and the burning of the Yule log. Many Christmas traditions — the Yule log, evergreen decorations, the 12 days of Christmas — have roots in the Norse and Germanic Yule celebrations. Modern Wiccan and Neopagan traditions continue to celebrate Yule as one of eight seasonal sabbats.
