What happens

Burning Log is a television program which airs traditionally on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning on the Shaw Spotlight community channels in Canada, replacing the remainder of the channel's programming for the time frame. The program is a film loop of a wood fire burning in a fireplace; an unidentified individual can periodically be seen stoking the fire. It airs free of charge, without any commercial interruptions, compared to US fire logs on local stations in that country which do so. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
