More Christmas Specials of the Seventies...


Ah, the Yule Log! That brief shot (fifteen seconds or so) of Gracie Mansion coziness that played on a loop for hours. It seemed all New Yorkers (and tri-staters) adored that cathode ray fireplace, even as they ridiculed it. In my home, we opened our gifts on Christmas Eve, but we didn't have a TV in the living room so we just had the WPIX-FM simulcast playing. I know they've revived this in recent years, but I went to the WPIX website (it's now a WB station), and it didn't mention anything about it.
