Christmas fireplace on TV

A long-running New York TV tradition comes to L.A. this Christmas... the TV Yule Log!
The local station KCAL/9 will run an uninterrupted shot of a crackling fireplace between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. on Christmas morning (along with holiday tunes in the background). KCAL got the idea from New York's WPIX-TV, which made the Yule Log an annual tradition from 1966 to 1989 - as sort of a media stand-in for real fireplaces, something most Americans don't have. After a 12-year hiatus, WPIX brought the Log back in 2001.
Plus: Internet user can also watch the cozy crackling fireplace via the web.
