Another yule log on the fire

Judging by the number of views on youtube, vistavuelounge's yule log video is becoming a favorite. Some have posted requests for the show in it's entirety (around two hours). Due to youtube time constraints (along with copyright restrictions), I am presenting only two short segments. Here is part two of the WPIX Yule Log that was broadcast on Christmas Eve over twenty five years ago.

WPIX Yule Log

The story behind this is that sometime during the 60's, a camera crew filmed the Gracie Mansion fireplace in New York (this is the Mayor's residence). For many years, WPIX (Channel 11) broadcast this film, which was basically put on an endless loop. During the 1980's, a sister FM station broadcast a stereo simulcast of Christmas music. The annual yule log show (always on Christmas Eve), was suspended for some time, but is now back (I think with newer footage).
So, from 1984, VistaVueLounge presents the Yule Log!
