  Yuletide
The ancient feast of Yule or Yuletide takes place on or about December 21 at the Winter Solstice and is followed closely by the Christian holiday of Christmas a few days later on December 25th.
Yuletide and Christmas traditions both have their roots in ancient times and in the ways of our ancestors.
Yuletide or Christmas, whatever one calls it, is one of the most beautiful and enchanted times of the year.

 Yule Origins, Lore, Legends, and Customs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
At Yuletide spirits of all kinds are abroad; similar beliefs are held by Celtic Pagans of Samhain (Halloween).
At Yuletide hosts of dead could be seen (by those so gifted) feasting with great revelry in their mounds, and paying each other friendly visits in each other's howes.
Clearly Yule has a dual nature: it is the time of Death and darkness, when trolls, ghosts and alfs fare about, but it is also the time of return of the waxing Sun and celebration of Her promise of Life and light renewed.

 Yule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Wicca, a form of the holiday is observed as one of the eight solar holidays, or sabbats, where Yule is celebrated on the winter solstice: in the northern hemisphere, circa December 21, and in the southern hemisphere, circa June 21.
A much more popular winter celebration is Christmas in July, not surprisingly celebrated (several times by some) in July, removing the celebration from all religious connections both Pagan and Christian.
Though notionally synonymous with Christmas, both religious and secular, Yule and Yuletide are sometimes used by English speakers as secular names for December 25th and late December in general in much the same way that the Scandinavian "Jul" does not distinguish between the Germanic Pagan feast, Christmas, and (quite possibly) the pre-Indo-European winter solstice celebration.

 Yuletide Rituals
At Yuletide the Elder Heathens decorated their homes with ivy, holly, and boughs of evergreens.
More likely the plays were for entertainment value alone, and if anything to celebrate the healing powers of the gods, particularly Woden as a healer, and to educate that Yuletide is a time for frith and wishs that come true.
Traditionally, the Yule log was brought in on Mothers' Night, it was then set ablaze and hoped to burn all Twelve Nights (remember this log was nearly an entire tree to be burned in the long pits of a long house).

 Yuletide Market FAQs - Corpus Christi
The YWCA utilizes the many Public Service Announcements provided by the television stations, as well as the Civic Page provided by the Caller-Times.  There are also many paid advertisements, notifications in periodicals across the state, and other non-profit newsletters.  In addition, each merchant includes their participation in all of their advertising.
The YWCA Yuletide Market is a major fund-raiser for the YWCA.  The proceeds go to maintaining and improving the many programs offered to the community by the YWCA.
The market is the product of a group of YWCA volunteer chairmen who work for months contacting merchants to participate, working out the logistics of staging such a large production, etc.  But, none of it would be possible without the underwriting of the project by community minded corporation supporters.

Seventeen years earlier, in 1945, the Studebaker Corporation ran this Yuletide ad in major magazines to celebrate a nation's gratitude for world peace.

 'Yuletide' feels fresh and fun
Based on a visit Wednesday night to Hilbert Circle Theatre, this 19th edition of "Yuletide" spruced up nicely, with a little more Broadway pizzazz than in some years, and with strong secondary leads who don't leave everything to the host.
And it just so happens that a big highlight of "Yuletide" 2004 is "Let It Snow!" -- a mostly female, MGM-style segment, complete with big, fluffy, white fans.
Another plus is the presence of Gwendolyn Jones, whose big voice, brassy demeanor and million-dollar smile lend a Broadway-style dimension to several scenes -- and none more than the Dancing Santas.
