December 25th, the Twelve Days of Christmas

Yule is a Northern European festival. Depending on religious affiliation, the festival is celebrated between the winter solstice and early February.
In Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish, Christmas is called "jul". In Icelandic, Christmas is called "jól", in English "Yule", in Finnish "joulu", in Dutch "joelfees", in Frisian and North Sea Germanic dialects "Jül or Jööl", in Old Norse "júl and jól". The Yule festival is celebrated in various variations depending on the region. In the Norse-Germanic ASATRU faith, Yule is one of the four most important festivals in the annual cycle.

Christmas or Consecrated – Night. Rough Nights Odin's Wild Hunt
We refer to these as the 12 Consecrated Nights. The word "Weih" comes from the Old High German "wîh" and means holy / sanctuary.
The Rough Nights begin on the night of December 25th at 0.00 a.m.!
The Rough Nights end on January 5th at 12.00 a.m.

Each of the Rough Nights represents one month in the coming year and runs from 0:00 to 24:00.
The solar calendar and the lunar calendar differ by 12 days. The lunar calendar is missing "12 days and 12 nights", which are called Rough Nights.
The syllable "Rauh" is derived from the Germanic word rûch (West Germanic *rūhwa) - which means hairy - rough – harsh, shaggy, scraggy and wild.
As reported in old sagas and legends, the Rough Nights are the nights when evil demons and spirits wreak havoc on Midgard. These are the days when Odin, or Wotan, with his army of warriors, rides out for the "Wild Hunt" against the evil forces of darkness!
