The reindeer stag is a reminder of the horned god.
Yule is a word that the Christians used for the Christmas Season, though this
time of year was sacred long before the birth of Christ.
People of many different religons strengthen the light at this time of year.
Pagans and Christians bring evergreen trees into their homes and decorate
them with lights and orniments that shine and twinkle. This reminds
us that life continues in the depths of winter.
