In runic scripts s and j may have been mixed up regarding the birth of the sun. In my language the "sun" is called "sól" and this time of year the sun is reborn and we celebrate "jól". It is also interesting that some rune is said to be right-to-left inscription. In scandinavia "jól" has been changed into "jul" and may get the "u" from the sun.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runic_script It is at its lowest now and on my gps this morning it logged sunrise 11:30 and sunset 15:30 The sun returns and gives us five minutes more every day after jól.
