Yule vs Christmas

In this video I discuss the celebrations of Christmas and ancient Pagan Yule. I am trying to figure out whether some traditions like decorating a pine tree on Christmas originally belonged to Yule and were borrowed by Christians or was it something that developed on its own. We will also briefly revisit an ancient mound, and I will show you how we decorate.
