Yule marks the longest night of the year and the rebirth of the sun. From this point forward, days begin to lengthen. In the darkest moment, we celebrate the return of light and hold faith that warmth will return. Ancient traditions include burning yule logs to call back the sun, decorating with evergreens as symbols of eternal life, and gathering with family to share warmth and hope.
