We didn't have a tree last year (except for a little fiber-optic thing I bought that Becca still kids me about) because we were selling the old house at the time. This year, we are settled in to our new house and have put up a proper tree in the den. This picture was taken with only the tree lights on early one morning and with no flash.
This picture is with a flash on, which lessens the impact of the tree lights a bit.
