Yule

Yule is a festive time people celebrate around December 20th to honor winter. It's older than Christmas and comes from ancient traditions. During Yule, people remember the longest night of the year and welcome the return of more daylight. In the past, folks lit big fires, sang songs, and spent time with family and friends. Today, some people still have special meals and put up decorations like evergreen trees and candles to bring warmth and cheer. It's a time to be cozy, happy, and grateful for the things and people that bring joy into our lives.

How to celebrate Yule?

On Yule, decorate your home with pretty lights and lots of green branches or a small tree. In the evening, gather your family and make yummy cookies or a special meal together. Light a candle or a fire to make everything cozy, and tell fun stories or sing songs. You can also make simple crafts, like paper snowflakes or pinecone ornaments. Share little homemade gifts with each other to show you care. Take a moment to go outside, look up at the stars, and think about the wonderful things in nature. Have fun and enjoy the day with your loved ones!
