A Yule log is a large log which is burned in the hearth as a part of traditional Yule or Christmas celebrations in some cultures. It can be a part of the Winter Solstice festival or the Twelve Days of Christmas, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or Twelfth Night.
The expression "Yule log" has also come to refer to log-shaped Christmas cakes, also known as "chocolate logs" or "Bûche de Noël".
In the U.S., the Yule log has also become a modern tradition in the form of a TV screen in one's home showing video of an actual Yule Log burning in a real fireplace.
In California, the Yule log has also become an annual tradition of a few cobbs getting together during the holiday season to log at northern San Diego surf breaks, eye around, magnify, work out, sleep on a cot in a bunker, get a stiff gin and tonic followed by Italian food leading to extreme relaxation and a sense of well being.

As I stand afar and gaze upon the land that gave me birth, I can't but come to the conclusion that the well-being of the southland is in jeopardy. Fires threaten from the east--that's not the kind of raging we're looking for. Kobe demands a trade, thus securing his status as a fair-weather homeboy. (I say, let him crash--and burn.) The Dodgers went in for a sweet tailspin. But there is hope! The fires have turned to embers; Torre (and A-Rod?) could sweep in as saviors; the Lakers could make some unbelievable trade for a fine young cadre of homeboys. And, finally, the Cobbs could carve out the time in their schedule for the Yule Log. I am in need of a good, old-fashioned Cobb. Let the savior come! The Yule Log. The Yule Cobb. Bring it on...
