Christmas is a holiday celebrated by many around the world. It is usually celebrated on December 25th and is associated with the birth of Jesus Christ. Two words that are often used to describe Christmas are Yules and Noels. Yules is a term derived from Old English and Norse mythology, which refers to the winter solstice and the 12 days of Christmas. Noels is a French term meaning 'Christmas carols' or 'Christmas songs'. Together, these two words form the term Christmases, which is used to refer to the celebration of Christmas.
