Nick and the Yule Log

In the December cold of 2015, Famous actor Nick Offerman and multi billionaire company Netflix, worked together to make the famous Nick Offerman Yule Log video. First appearing to the public on December 2nd 2015, the video quickly became famous for its relaxing tomes, and famous actor. In the 45 minute long video Nick Offerman is seen sitting on a leather chair facing the viewer. To the right of him in the background is a stone fireplace with a calm fire going. In his hand is a glass cup filled with whisky with only a shot's worth of liquor in it. To the left of Nick sits a metal table covered in a gold coat. On the table is a bottle of whisky, the bottle red like wine. The bottle is un coerced and is presumably where the liquor in Nick’s glass came from. Nick himself wears a bausch over coat with a buffalo plaid shirt striped with reds, whites, and browns. Nick has dark blue jeans on with leather boots. Behind him and the chair is a book shelf filled with books and a few assortments of items and on the floor is a white carpet with a brown chain link patter on it. For the entire duration of the video the sounds of wood cracking and bunning are heard. Every once in a while Nick takes a sip from his glass and if the glass does run empty he pours himself some more from the bottle on the table next to him. Nick looks at the viewer for the duration of the video. Having a look of someone listening to another tell a story. Nick will occasionally nod and move his head around tilts that have a look of curiosity. The video brings a feeling of calmness and warmth. A nice comfort in the cold winter days that bite at you. The video is a wonderful cinematic masterpiece of simple minimalism. The minimalist content, sound, and lighting design brought people in and kept them. Fascinated by the amazing calmness of it. It is one of the best productions of Netflix and is still iconic today for its amazing minimalism and calmness. It brings thoughts of warmths, family, and comfort. The wood reminds you of those family holidays and amazing feast. The times spent together and memories made. Many people use the video while they study to bring a sense of calmness in it. It reminds me of my family altogether. Eating and laughing. The world just passed for happiness. Only joy in the air and not a tinge of fear, hate, envy, or any negativity. Just the pure joy of being together.
