But this latter meaning Is probably the right one, after all, as the word doubtless comes, from Yule (*u-!e) t tho pagan Christmas, so to speak, for be It known that what we now observe as Christmas day was a heathen holiday called Xule, and the Xulq festival was one of noisy demonstration. Yule indeed means noise or outcry, praising in loud voice, chanting, sing- ing, making outcry\ In honor of their god. Prom yule, then, to jolly the step Is short and easy, both meaning revel- ry, rejoicing, Ours Is a risen Lord, theirs tins same- The words are ldeutt cal.
