Yule Log!

For many years Channel 11, WPIX in New York City (one of the oldest TV stations in the country), would present the "Yule Log" on Christmas Eve.

While the Yule Log burned, Christmas carols would play.

Now my childhood home did have a fireplace, but there was something about the Yule Log on Channel 11 that made us happy.

It became a New York area tradition.

I hope you enjoy it!

This particular Yule Log was shown in 1983.

After a few years off the air, the Yule Log was restored back to Channel 11 a few years ago, and now is seen on many stations around the country.

There is, of course, a fan website devoted to The Yule Log.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thanks for visiting New Jersey Memories!
