@devilslittlesister You actually have that backward, the Holly King rules from midsummer (Litha, summer solstice) to Yule (winter solstice). The Holly King represents the waning part of the year. When the sun gets weaker and the days get shorter. The Oak King defeats him at Winter Solstice and rules the waxing half of the year. The sun gets stronger and the days grow longer.
