We live so far north that it gets very dark in the winter. Solstice is the darkest but after Solstice it gets lighter so that is why we celebrate Solstice.

Yule Traditions: Solstice
The 21st December is Solstice. We light lots of candles and sometimes we light a bonfire. We put the lights on our tree but don't decorate it yet. Our tree is called Fény Fa (fény = light, fa = tree, the Hungarian word for pine tree is fényőfa).
