But since we are geeks and nerds, we want to step it up! Geek Alabama is here to show you the top geeky/nerdy yule logs for Christmas morning!

First off, what is a yule log? A yule log is a large and very hard log which is burned in the hearth as a part of traditional Yule or Christmas celebrations in several European cultures. The expression yule log has also come to refer to log-shaped Christmas cakes, also known as chocolate logs or bûche de Noël. The yule log is related to other Christmas and Yuletide traditions such as the ashen faggot.
