Merry Christmas From Patch!

From our family to yours, warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season.

While I've lived in the Oak Grove neighborhood for 29 years, I grew up in the Hudson Valley, north of New York.

If you grew up in the Northeast in the late 1960s and '70s, then you may remember the Yule Log.

Video of the roaring fire in the fireplace would begin airing on Christmas Eve and stay on right through Christmas Day.

According to Wikipedia, "The Yule Log was created in 1966 by Fred M. Thrower, President and CEO of WPIX, Inc."

While there are numerous ways we could mark this most special of days, we'll just leave you with this fond memory from my childhood.
