Did you know? Many Christmas traditions have roots in pagan celebrations, particularly Yule, a midwinter solstice festival. 🎄 Traditions like the use of evergreens, the yule log, gift giving, and caroling were adapted into Christmas customs as Christianity spread, blending pagan and Christian practices.
