Yule

Yule (also known as Yuletide) is the time of year about the shortest day, and is held as a holiday by the English. The holiday is held by stopping work, gathering together kin, giving gifts to one another, and eating a great meal.

A firtree is brought into the home some days before Yule, and it and the home are overlain with lights and bright trimmings.

Yule is held at the same time as Christmas for those who are also Christians.
