I love the smell of Christmas trees and would love to try this to keep the house smelling great all year long. I will be slicing up part of the trunk and hang the disks throughout the cellar to keep that atmosphere as well.

I feel the same way Kiwi. I love technology, but when it comes to Christmas music, I like the 30's and 40's music best as well as some 50's and 60's.
Bing, Nat King Cole, Sinatra...

Those are some great ideas kiwi. Now I wish we had a real tree instead of an artificial one.

info on the Swedish St. Knut's day, the official end of Christmas. I started taking down a few things today. Potholders hanging off the ktichen cabinets that were getting in the way. Since we did not put out much, if I only take down 1 or 2 things a day, Christmas will last that much longer. :-)
