REAL ENGLISH 69

YULE, YULETIDE

 [juul, juultajd]

= periodo natalizio, spesso come sinonimo per Natale. Deriva da un'antica festa paganica germanica, poi assimilata al Natale dopo la conversione al cristianesimo. 

Quindi ci sono altre parole associate allo Yule, per esempio:

yule log  = ceppo di Natale (bûche de Noel)


Su Wikipedia si trova un sacco d'informazioni sullo Yuletide in tutti i Paesi del Nord Europa.

Well, B, I have done some of that, intermittently. But mondosapore is winding down now. after jan 1 2010 i'll seldom if ever post here.

i am keeping the site up for at least a couple of years, though.
