Wikipedia: Yule
Yule is a winter festival historically observed by the Germanic peoples. In Anglo-Saxon England, Yule (ġeōl) was linked to the winter solstice and Christmas. In Old English, the months of December and January were named after it. In medieval Scandinavia, Yule (jól) was a Norse pagan feast, which seems to have been originally held in January. Yule is claimed to have been merged with Christmas during the Christianisation of the Germanic peoples.
 
The term Yule and Yuletide, along with their cognates, are still used in English and the Scandinavian languages, as well as in Finnish and Estonian, to describe Christmas and the season of Christmastide.

Tide (/ˈtaɪd/), is an American brand of laundry detergent manufactured and marketed by Procter & Gamble. Introduced in 1946, it is the highest-selling detergent brand in the world, with an estimated 14.3 percent of the global market.
