Forgot to say that as far as I know, it has pretty much been accepted that "Yule" existed well before Christianity and that because of its longevity, there is stil dispute as to its etymology. For more info and a very Kewl Yule site with songs, history, even cards to send, please click here.

Also, there are some neat projects and suggestions for Yule at WitchVox. I esp. liked the Witches Ladder project.
