I heart Christmas

Here's a slight variation of my Out of Focus Christmas Tree shot from last year.

Secrets revealed.

I have to wait for my shot. Does everyone set up the christmas tree so early ? I thought the american tradation was at the 24th itself ? Here we (or I ) tend to wait at least till after the 6th of december (thats some other santa claus with a weird hat that brings toys for children)

toddlertoes says:

oh yeah, I have some photos like these too - but then 'bokeh' from other lights with a child in front of it. Cool effect, I think it works better with colored lights as you show here. Cool

toddlertoes says:

I also have some not with hearts but with little christmastrees : )
I was a little surprised just as @VsTrashrevealed, we set up the christmas trees way later

LH*Photography says:

Now how did you do that? It's gorgeous!
We don't set up our tree until the middle of December.
As much as I LOVE it, it just gets in the way b/c we
don't have a great place to put it.
