| YuleLog
is a database program for people who collect Hallmark Christmas
Ornaments. Todd Ray, owner and author of YuleLog Software, has been
keeping collectors organized since 1995. Todd has an Electrical
Engineering degree from the University of Memphis, and a masters degree in
Engineering Management from Christian Brothers College. He works as a Data
Network engineer for FedEx.
Todd's wife, Donna, has been
collecting Hallmark ornaments since the early 1980's. Todd began
developing YuleLog Software when his own interest in Hallmark ornaments
was piqued, after Donna purchased the 1991 Starship Enterprise ornament
for him as a gift. With price guide info from Ellen Gordon, and graphics
courtesy of Hallmark, Todd's software has become a valuable tool for
collectors who wish to catalog their treasures.
Part of The YuleLog Software
website, the original YuleLog Bulletin Board only had one page. It was a combination of chat and buy and sell.
Eventually, as the community of collectors grew, the bulletin board
expanded to a full set of forums, and The YuleLoggers Club formed out
of these boards.
You can read more about the
history of YuleLog software, as told by Todd, in this
post on the YuleLog boards.
