While winter solstice was observed around the world, Germanic cultures of northern Europe celebrated Yule, the rebirth of the sun and the light it would bring to the Earth. Yule celebrations would include bonfires, decorating with holly, mistletoe, and the boughs of evergreen trees, ritual sacrifices, feasts, and gift-giving.
During this time the old Norse calendar calls for the Miðsvetrarblót. A Midwinter animal sacrifice. Roast ham from a boar was the centerpiece of the Yule feast. The boar would be sacrificed to the Norse gods Njördr and Freya for peace and a good season, and for departed friends and family buried in mounds. The sacrifice would be cooked over the Hearth fire and served to the hall. There would be celebratory drinking of mead and feasting of the sacrificed animals. Cups would be raised in honor of Óðinn for victory and power.
In true Viking fashion, Yule celebrations involved lots of drinking and eating. Vikings would brew their own beer, wine and mead. Historians think mead was often saved for special occasions so it was probably consumed a lot during the Yuletide celebration.
