I have the same problem around christmas! Miss the pine-scent! I have ended up with a compromise. I fill vases with branches and then I get a little of the smell, and the feeling of having something "real" in my rooms.
Another trick is to fill a pot with water ( 3-4 cups), put it on your stove, and put in 2-3 pinecones, 1-2 sliced apples, 3 cinnamon sticks. Low heat on the stove, and just leave it on for a while. Smells great, it is all-natural, and inexpensive too. Merry X-mas!
