Question

How did the Germanic/Norse people celebrate Yule?

Answer 1

Complicated answer. Germanic/Norse covers a LOT of ground and a LOT of tribes.They all celebrated differently. For example the Wild Hunt was a much bigger deal in the Germanic then the Norse. The story of mistletoe was probably far more common in the anglo-saxon borders then Norway since there is no mistletoe in Norway. In general they all did swear oaths on the boar for Freyr and shared a meal and sumbeled. Other gods were honored such as Frigga on Mothers Night and Thor as well. They probably all had a form of the Yule log. The details were different in different areas though.
