Yule or Yuletide (Yule time) for this customary festival, observed by historic Germanic people.
Connected for celebrating this Wild Hunt ritual. God Odin and pagan Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht.
This later underwent Christianised reformulation, resulting in term: Christmastide.
Celebrated for midwinter feast and yule with pine log burned on open fire.

Mars has closer planet Earth characteristics. Having fall, Winter, Summer and Spring, North Pole and South Pole with mountains and much ice. Neither anyone shall live on Venus nor shall live on Jupiter.
