FROM THE ARCHIVES: YULE NEVER GUESS WHO WAS WRONG

Forever ember: 'Yule Log' story (MARISA GUTHRIE, 11/29/2006, NY Daily News)

Except for a 10-year interruption from 1990-2000, when bean-counting scrooges decided it was too expensive to run the marathon log session without commercials, "The Yule Log" has run every year in New York on a three-hour loop accompanied by holiday music.

It was our fights over whether the Yule log really burned for three hours or was a loop that first convinced me that Orrin doesn't (and never has) believed in the conservation of energy and matter.
