A comment on the former got a reply:

13:26 Pagan Yule in Scandinavia is not the winter solstice, but the middle of the winter season, it comes around the beginning of February.

So, even 1000 miles away, the celebration was not for days getting longer, but for weather getting warmer again.

No it doesn't. I am Swedish, I live in Sweden and my whole life we celebrate Jul. That is 11 days after Lusse/Lucia, so it is the night of the 24th of December.

@Draugh39 I was talking about Pagan Yule.

Swedish Jul is simply Christmas.
