context_page_description: Jul, the Danish Jule and Christmas, is celebrated throughout December starting either at the beginning of Advent or on December 1 with a variety of traditions. Christmas Eve, Juleaften, the main event of Jul, is celebrated on the evening of December 24, the evening before the two Christmas holidays, December 25 and 26th. Celebrating on the eve before Christmas is also used for most other holidays in Denmark.
  Jul is originally an ancient old Norse tradition related to the Germanic Yule celebration of North Europe, but was mixed with the overlapping Christian tradition of Christmas when Denmark was christened during the 11th century. The traditions related to Jul have evolved through the centuries, still with many pagan traditions carried on today. In the 1800s, the tradition of bringing a Christmas tree inside the home was introduced gradually, inspired by Germany.
