I wrote something about it on my website http://www.persianmirror.com/celebrations/mehregan/mehregan.cfm#yalda
Although it goes back to zoroastrian and christian-syrian mythology, people still celebrate it today. Hafiz poetry is red, and special menues prepared. Although the current regime does not like pre-islamic traditions, Yalda experiences a renaissance among educated and cultured families in present Iran.
