Every year I buy the Balsam and Cedar candles and scent plugs and light them right after Thanksgiving.  I just love the smell of fresh balsam trees in my house as I don't buy a live Christmas tree.  The candles have a powerful throw and can be smelled in every room as my house has an open floor plan.   I burn these candles right through January.  I just can't get enough of the balsam scent.  It is my favorite scent!
