Man I love that smell. It not only reminds me of Christmas, but comfort, love and safety. Back when I was in Elementary School, I would come home from school and mom could be cooking this potpourri: 
This was before the days of Salt City and Scentsy. She had that pot with the open flame (not too safe) bubbling and that scent would soak up the whole house. I'd come home from school after having an absolutely horrible day and mom would be in the kitchen making something and I would sit on her lap and tell her everything that went wrong. That smell even soaked into her apron. I can smell it right now as I tell it. It was the best smell ever.
So because of all the many memories I associate with that smell, I have apple cinnamon all over my house. I'm not a potpourri person, so I buy the glade plug-ins and once that puppy is plugged in, I am transported back to those days of sitting on my mom's lap feeling safety and peace. It's the best feeling ever.

It always reminds of cool fall afternoons and freezing cold winters, all warm and toasty in my house. I think it's the best smell ever and I'm glad that you love it so much.
