If you have not yet come across the festive DVDs or television programming providing nothing but the image of a burning fireplace, this 45 minute video of Nick Offerman and a yule log will be a real treat. Here just in time for the holiday season, the YouTube video features the Parks and Recreation alumnus sat in a leather arm chair and drinking whisky beside a burning fire. The wordless entertainment is ideal for fans of the deadpan comedian who want to share that love with friends and family.
The yule log fireplace video also doubles as an advertisement for Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Whiskey. This is an interesting integration into what has become a commonplace form of entertainment during Christmas.
