They’ve got a nice one a lot like this on Hallmark Mysteries. I’m used to just a closeup of a log, but this new one also shows the mantle and presents.
I never even heard about sitting around watching a log until the 2000s.
Good ‘ole Channel 11...
Same here. Every Christmas Eve we would open presents with the Yule Log in the background

Someone had left the WPIX Yule log going on the TV. We sat down to watch a while. After a few minutes I said, "This isn't right." I got up and moved the TV into the empty fireplace. John said, "Much better."
A few minutes later the XO walked by, looked at the TV in the fireplace and muttered, "I don't want to know about it," before heading upstairs.
"Ceterum censeo Islam esse delendam."

I grew up in Western/Southern Tier of NY and our TV system would carry WPIX and WWOR so NYC news was like local to us. I do remember mom tuning into the WPIX Yule Log year in and year out. Special memories.
