Review on 🎅 Christmas Snow Globe Lantern with Music, Battery Operated/USB Powered Santa Decorations: 8 Christmas Theme Songs, 6H Timer - Perfect for Holiday Home Décor & Gifts (Santa) by Srinivasan Bennett

***UPDATE*** Absolutely eats batteries! Connect if you can. Below was my first review: This is a really cool Christmas decoration. The only thing I don't like is that it's quite loud when the music is off. There is noise from the mechanism that powers part of the snow globe, which is a bit more noticeable than I think it should be. The music volume is also not adjustable. I have a similar piece of jewelry and have found that a layer or two of tape can be applied to the speaker to muffle the noise to the desired volume. It plays excerpts from 8 different Christmas carols. These are the same songs as many similarly lit holiday lanterns and snow globes. Songs will play continuously for 6 hours and then turn off for 18 hours if left in music mode. Projection light is a handy feature. The image is bright and colorful even on a textured ceiling. I expect it to fade a bit the more you use it. Comes with a power cord that plugs into a USB port. They can also be powered by 3 AA batteries. I suspect the battery won't last more than a week or two with the motor if you run it frequently. Comes in a box which is handy for storage but not necessarily a gift.
