Another song from my Christmas CD "Bluegrass Jingle Bells" is playing while you decorate your own Choose from 4 different trees: 2 Traditional trees, a Palm tree, and a Hat Rack tree. Choose from 10 tree skirts, each a different color. Choose from 4 sets of blinking lights. Choose from 10 tree decorations or use them all. Then you can write a greeting and send it with your decorated tree with "music" to a friend. "Bluegrass Jingle Bells" was also used by the Danish Boy Scouts as their signature tune for a daily radio broadcast. They recorded a continuing story each day in December based on the input of their listeners, making the story 'a bit odd and twisted - and quite funny.' "Bluegrass Jingle Bells" is also being used for a video game in Poland called "Santa's Workshop." The creator of the game said he found out many people were coming to the site just to hear the song! This year they are using "The Smiling Kitty" for another game they have created.
