When was yule first celebrated

Yule was a traditional Germanic winter festival that was celebrated on the Winter Solstice, and Yuletide (also known as the Yule Time or the Yule Season) ran for about two months. In more modern times, Yule was rebranded and reformulated by Christians and renamed Christmastide.

Most of the traditions of this holiday were then absorbed into Christmas traditions.

These traditions include lighting trees, giving gifts, and hanging up holly and/or mistletoe.
