Yule is essentially a celebration of the sun's return, the solstice & the circle of life. candles & rituals with fire are very appropriate. 

​

Like any Sabbat, celebrate with friends & family. Many secular traditions stem from pagan roots.

Don't deprive yourself! Norse & Roman pagan lore is prominent in modern Christmas traditions.

Feasting, family time, gift-giving & decorating with evergreens is all in alignment with Yule.
