Two junior apprentices at Exchange Place carry a yule log to the fire at the Yule Log Lighting event at the living history farm in Kingsport Saturday afternoon, Dec. 6, 2025. The yule log burning, while the crowd sings "Deck the Halls," is part of a tradition that volunteer Mark Selby helps re-enact each year as the finale of the Christmas in the Country event in early December. Look for an article coming soon to the Kingsport Times New online and in print. #exchangeplace #yulelog #Wassil | Time
