I have recieved several e-mails concerning the Yule.
It is okay IMO for Wiccans to celebrate Christmas.
Yuletide is the reason for the season the winter solstice (which this year falls on 21 December at 7:22 pm EST),. Did you know that the Christmas was actually a pagan holiday.
Celebrate the Yule season! It was pagans who first put up a "yule" tree and decorated it and gave presents to our loved ones.
We are celebrating the Solsitice and saying good bye to the past year and welcoming the new. Look up "Yuletide" in any search engine and you will learn alot!!
Happy Yule and Blessed Be!!!
Thank you for posting this - it is so important to let people know that Yule was originally a pagan holiday. People seem to forget their roots, or at least, do not bother to do any research into the past. So this is good.
MM HW While being outspoken is frowned on by many of my sisters, I like to share with others not in my circle...Happy Yule, or Merry Christmas.
And you RB...and to all the same...Whatever you believe.
The sun sleeps longest at this time and rises bright above the line where earth and heavans gate combine to draw the heart and calm the mind. Behold the light that can never die
Reborn anew in the Solstice Sky!
Blessing to all.
I have been Pagan for around 30 years.

Do you celebrate Christmas, a different holiday, or just do nothing?

Is it offensive for an atheist to celebrate Christmas?It's been stated that Dec. 25th is not actually the day Jesus was born and this date, along with a number of familiar Christmas traditions, were assimilated from other religions when the church rose to power. Similarly, the corporate side of...

I'd like to wish all of you who celebrate the season (and are still alive and well here on HP) a Merry Christmas with a link to Bob Seger singing my favorite Christmas song, "The Little Drummer Boy". The emotion he brings forth is so uplifting and the musical arrangement is amazing....
