Happy Yule!

Yule is a Pagan holiday that goes back thousands of years, celebrating the shortest day of the year (Winter Solstice) and the Sun's return and rebirth. 

Yule was historically celebrated by Vikings, Germanic tribes and people in pre-Christian Europe. It is considered one of the oldest festivals in the world, and is still celebrated by many people of Pagan and Wiccan faiths. Many Pagan winter solstice traditions were incorporated into Christmas celebrations, including decorated trees, grand feasts and mistletoe. This year, Yule will be marked from December 21, 2022, to January 1, 2023.
