THEME:   first three letters of a phrase contain the name of a tree
   
GOOD ONES:    
Lullaby setting {& theme}   TREETOP ["top" of the phrase is the tree]   
Took in   ATE [I thought duped, etc.]   
Man of letters?   SAJAK [funny how we make subject matter experts of game show hosts]   
List maker   DEAN [never knew if there were really a list or if it was just a grade point cut-off --- anyway, I thought Santa Claus, etc.]   
   
BTW:   
Enchant   BESOT [besot means "to stupefy or get drunk"; enchant means to "mystically affect"; hence, not synonymous]   
   
   
RATING:    ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
