Tille delves into the pagan origins of these holidays and how they were adapted and transformed by Christianity. He examines the various customs and rituals associated with Yule and Christmas, such as the Yule log, the Christmas tree, and gift-giving. Tille also explores the role of folklore and mythology in shaping these holidays, including the figure of Santa Claus and the story of the Nativity. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the cultural significance of Yule and Christmas in the Germanic world, and how these traditions have evolved over time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
