Like the period of Halloween, the celebration of Yule also was considered a liminal time, a period where the veil would be thin. Especially during the twelve days of Christmas, a period which had been added to the year prior to the Gregorian calendar. A period named in Eastern Europe as the “dead days”, or “Wolf Days”, as folklore dictated that to be born during this time, especially on Christmas day could increase your chances of transforming into a Werewolf. 
 
One account comes from Swedish Archbishop Olaus Magnus in his 1555 work “The History of the Northern Peoples, which described Scandinavian folklore and cultural customs. 
 
In Prussia, Livonia, and Lithuania, on the night of Christmas he describes: 
 
“A gathering of a huge multitude of wolves, which have been changed from men, and which during that night rage with such fierceness, that the inhabitants suffer more hurt from them than they ever do from natural wolves, for these human wolves break down doors, and descend into cellars where they drink out whole tons of beer of mead.”
