	yule log (tv program) - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		It is simply a film loop (at first a mere seventeen seconds, now a little less than seven minutes) of a Yule log burning in a fireplace, with a traditional soundtrack of classic Christmas Carols and secular music playing in the background.
		The idea of "The Yule Log" was originally created in 1966 by the station's general manager at that time, Fred Thrower, as a televised Christmas gift to those residents of "The Big Apple" who lived in apartments and homes without a fireplace at the cost of $4,000 in cancelled commercials.
		The program was the most-watched TV program in the metropolitan New York area for Christmas Day of that year, and has been winning its' time slot annually since.

		The word "yule" means wheel, a symbol representing the Sun, and the yule tide was a festivity celebrating the fact that the days and warmth would now start to get longer and warmer again.
		The yule log was a huge log (sometimes an entire tree) that was burned slowly throughout these days to herald the birth of this new sun.
		The log was slowly fed into the fire over the course of several days until it was completely consumed.

	"Notes From A Tangled Webb" - A Christmas of Turkey Rage, Flying TVs and a Burning Yule Log
		She walked over to the television set, wrenched it from its socket, hauled it to the front door and, in a flash of Christmas inspiration that nearly all of us have felt at one time or another, threw the wretched thing out the front door, down the stairs and into the street.
		Channel 11 TV carried a program that showed only a Yule log burning in a fireplace, and accompanied by a soundtrack of Christmas carols and other seasonal songs.
		Now that's television as it should be, and I can only hope that this idea gets across the Atlantic and that one of the scores of TV channels in Britain will show me a burning Yule log with some good carols on Christmas Day 2002.

		Most of the familiar traditional practices and symbols of Christmas, such as the Christmas tree, the Christmas ham, the Yule Log, holly, mistletoe, and the giving of presents, were adapted or appropriated by Christian missionaries from the earlier Germanic pagan midwinter holiday of Yule.
		It is an appropriation of the pagan Midwinter festivals, such as the Germanic Yule and the Roman festival of the birth of Unconquered Sun, celebrated on the day after the winter solstice, or the Roman festival of Saturnalia.
		It derives from the tradition that Jesus was born during the Jewish Festival of Lights (Hanukkah, the 25th of Kislev and the beginning of Tevet).

		The video yule log is an annual tradition that began in 1966 on New York television station WPIX, which famously aired a loop of a 17-second film of the fireplace at Gracie Mansion, residence of then-Mayor John Lindsay.
		I found "Holiday Yule" on Amazon.com, and it's a somewhat disappointing, not-quite- roaring fire (an arm appears now and then to toss in another log), with a soundtrack featuring a sequence of 24 saccharinely sung Christmas carols.
		From the same television program, Callas performs arias from "Gianni Schicchi" and "Manon" and almost 10-minutes from "La Sonnambula." The "Sonnambula" is something to return to again and again and again.

		The burning of a Yule Log originated with the Druids and their ritual burning of a carefully chosen log during the winter.
		The word “yule” is derived from the old Anglo-Saxon word “hweol” which means “wheel” — a pagan symbol of the sun.
		Yule logs, and other sources of light and warmth such as candles and bonfires originated as pagan customs to encourage the waning sun god as he reached the lowest point in the southern skies.
