You could think the countdown to Xmas is just too long with stores playing festive music from October onwards when Yuletide trees and lights appear so early on. But in days gone by in Orkney and throughout Northern Europe, Yuletide and its midwinter traditions lasted as long as a month. At one time they started close to December 20th and continued until January 13th - referred to now as the Old New Year.
Until two or three centuries ago, the holiday in the pitch-dark times of the year was still being labelled as Yule instead of Christmas. This was on the list of great pagan fests celebrated by the Vikings who settled here in the 8th century. Other tribes from Northern Europe introduced very similar events and practices to the UK mainland. It was a time to look forward to the return of lighter days and to position themselves with friends and family and nearby neighbours, around the peat fires to tell legends. These tales have ben carefully woven into lots of the Ola Gorie jewellery designs.
It had been believed that the spirits of the departed returned to their families in the gloomy midwinter. Dressing up the house with winter plants was a part of the custom to guard the house from supernatural creatures. This custom and a lot more persisted and became integrated into Christian traditions.

The Celtic Yule corresponds with the Roman Saturnalia that had been a festival committed to worshipping the sun. This practice and Celtic events were Christianised, so Yule took over as the time to ceremonialize Christ's birth at Christmas. Rome wasn't built in a day so the festivals took centuries to transform from pagan to Christian symbolism.
What is wide-spread right across the world is that festivals came from worshipping the sun and the early folks knew when the solstices, or turning points in the sun's path, took place. Deeper categories were made between a solstice and equinox with the festivals of Beltane (May 1st) and Samhuinn or Hallowmas (November 1st).
There once was great feasts, drinking and dancing to fiddle music. So some practices are still sometimes played out in today's times. Like discovering the ideal treat in Jewellery Shops UK.
