Yule Log coming to Seattle
So you want to open presents on Christmas morning in front of a fire but don’t want the hassle of getting your chimney cleaned/setting the living room ablaze? Well, it looks like some channel–KMYQ-TV, Broadcast 22/Cable 10–will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Yule Log broadcast by showing it from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on the 25th [#].
The Yule Log has played on Christmas morning in New York since it was filmed at Gracie Mansion in 1966. It’s been cleaned up and digitalized and the music has been restored, which was a bit of a process since half of the songs are out of print. (If you’ve never seen the Yule Log, it’s both completely worth it and exactly what it sounds like: two hours worth of video of a merrily crackling fireplace.)
If you’re traveling, you can also download the Yule Log podcast for your video iPod.
