If so, how did they take it (I’m guessing “not well”), and where do things stand now?

    She called it Yule because she felt christmas was too commercialized.

    Other than my baby sister, I know no other Norse pagans in the flesh. I do not worship, she does have an altar. I wear my mjolnir. I would love to find a non white power community of Norse Pagans. I do know other pagans, but spiritual beliefs are not something we discuss.

    Edit to add: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Yule

    My mom’s mom’s dad’s family was from Scotland. He grew up in Barbados, but from talking with my mom about him I think he spoke Scots, which likely could be where the Yule originated.

      Oh, Yule; okay, that I know. I had never seen it in your spellings before, so TIL.

      That is also interesting that your sister followed almost precisely in your footsteps. Are you close?

        Jul is Norse, Norwegian, Danish for Yule or christmas.

        My Norse sister and I are very close, we would be closer if she was not an alcoholic.
