Looking for the log

The Yule Log Hunt returns for its 34th year at the Morton Arboretum, 4100 Route 53, Lisle. Visitors receive a list of clues to look for the 6-foot yule log. Once it's found, they return for a log-sawing celebration, a bonfire, caroling by the Frozen Robins singers and spiced cider. A self-guided “Yule Twig Hunt” for youngsters takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Children's Garden. Free with paid $8-$11 admission to the arboretum. (630) 968-0074 or mortonarb.org. 2 to 4 p.m. Monday, Dec. 26
