Yule refers to an ancient winter festival celebrated between December and January that originated in Germanic pagan traditions. It later became associated with Christmas after Christianity spread across Northern Europe. Yule traditions included burning a yule log to represent the returning sun and tales of a Yule Goat that carried Father Christmas or was associated with Norse mythology. Today, yule is commonly referenced in Christmas carols and continues to represent the winter holiday season.
