The 1970s Yule Log Brings Back Happy Christmas Memories!

Yule Log

The WPIX Yule Log

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

While the Log burned, Christmas carols would play.

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

It became a New York area holiday tradition. 

I hope you enjoy it! 

This is the Log from 1970.

That is the Percy Faith Orchestra playing in the background.

 

 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 Log.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thanks for visiting New Jersey Memories!
