How many of you remember The Yule Log Show on television?
To those unfamiliar with it, the Yule Log Show was a program traditionally aired on American network television on Christmas Day from about 9am to 2pm. It was perfectly timed to coincide with sitting around the tree and opening presents. The entire show consisted of a Yule log burning in a fireplace. No dialogue. Just Christmas music and the pleasant crackle and pop of a toasty fire in someone else’s fireplace
Initially conceived as a way for fireplace-less New Yorkers to at least enjoy the visual delights of a roaring fire, the Yule Log Show was a tradition in my house growing up.
So imagine how delighted I was to see the folks at Applegate Farms improve on the original 🙂
Dear Friends, it doesn’t matter if you are bereft of a fireplace this year or if you have one. I invite you all to set your computer or laptop somewhere everyone can see it and open your presents while bacon sizzles the the background.
The video is a glorious 31-minutes long and can be set on repeat.
Happy Holidays to you all from NYC!

I was actually thinking of you the other day because my cousin was telling me about the month he spent putting up his boss’s Christmas lights. One whole month!
Here is a video. It’s the house on Daybreak Drive. Insanity! They even had a radio station you could tune into to hear the soundtrack!
