Trivia

Some of the Douglas Firs came with a cassette tape that you can use to make him tell stories and sing additional songs. They also came with a patch cord so you can make him sing/say whatever you want through a Radio, Stereo, or CD Player.
- Some even came with a microphone so it is easier to say whatever you want, without the hassle of connecting it from a karaoke machine or a similar device.
There are many combinations of eyes that can be found on the original Douglas Firs. There are three different base eyes: A cat-like eye, A round eye with a black dot, and clear eyes with a small white dot in a bigger black dot. These can be either green or orange. The 2007 model has more realistic looking blue eyes.
- Some Versions do not have Light-up eyes.
Very early and rare versions only sang "Jingle Bells" from Rocking Chair Santa
the AUX version has real microchips and they are: 2 NE555N, LA4160 7T6, UA741CN H2Z7C9, and a CD4011BE H9732.
- The epoxy blob's (audio for the tree when it is not in AUX mode) number is GEM13000A-1
When you use an adapter with a lower voltage (e. g. 3 Volts) in the AUX versions, the eyes will open for a few seconds, then closes and sings without any movement
