The Yule Tree, known as the Tree of Life, the World Tree, and via Christianity, the Christmas Tree.  A symbol of longevity, because it remains green through the winter, its evergreen presence is brought into the home to remind us to be calmly persistent and hopeful.  Rituals for Yule and the Winter Solstice include lighting candles. exchanging handmade items or found gifts from the natural world, quiet reflection upon the past year's events, and ushering back the sun with song and feasting.
