Again:
"Yule" is the normal Danish etc. word for Christmas.
It is nonsense to say: "We do not celebrate your stupid Christmas, we celebrate our Yule!"
Yule = Christmas.
Just as the German "Weihnachten" is our word for the English word "Christmas."
And there are a lot of other words in other languages for "Christmas".
Yup.
Just like English speaking people are not celebrating Eostre just beacuse it's called "Easter" (or "Ostern" in German).
The etymology of a word denotes it's history, not the present-day use of the it.
