Merry Christmas MSNBC. Well done today. Thank you.

It was nice. And guess what? The other stories are still there and not going anywhere. Stepping back and taking a logical approach rather than an emotional one works for me. Pauses can be important, burning the candle at both ends isn't healthy and skews life. When I think of the Americans that need the pause the most, it is the working poor and the families they support. 

I promise the return to topics in assessment after New Year will be my best effort. Today's emotions were well received and I thank you.



According to Wikipedia the history is:

The Yule Log was created in 1966 by Fred M. Thrower, President and CEO of WPIX, Inc. Inspired by an animated Coca-Cola commercial a year earlier that showed Santa Claus at a fireplace, he envisioned this television program as a televised Christmas gift to those residents of New York who lived in apartments and homes without fireplaces. This also provided time for employees of the television station to stay home with their families, instead of working for the usual morning news program....

It was filmed at Gracie Mansion in New York by the then mayor John Lindsay.
