Chestnuts can do whatever they want by an open fire; we’ll be roasting — courtesy of cozy blankets and flannel pajamas — in front of a television watching the Yule log this Christmas, as we do every year.

But here’s the thing: While we sit there, with our families, pondering the warmth and joy of the holiday season as classic carols play in the background, thousands of questions dance like sugar plums in our heads. Before we put on our caps and ‘kerchiefs, we decided it was time to get some answers. Consider this our holiday gift to you, so that you may settle your brains for a long winter’s nap.

I remember watching the Yule Log on WPIX in NY metro area. Many people did not have a fireplace so that program served as a substitute.

What is the Yule log, really? Quite simply, it’s a large log burned in a fireplace on Christmas Eve.

Have some of ganny's fruitcake. It's been around since 1989 (the same loaf).

Heldman’s claim about the Wikipedia reference was not true. She left out the part about Hunnish paganism.

That’s a well seasoned fruitcake and should burn a long time.

But don't you dare try to burn the cheese log.

The fambly might hurt you.
