Do You Hear What I Hear

This picture is #12 in my 100/365 project.

Not the most original shot, as I've tried this before and you can find variations on this theme from many photographers, but I wanted to try this one more time with the new tree to capture the festive spirit there is in our home with the Christmas tree. From technical standpoint, the key for this shot is to get as close to your subject as possible and use a prime lens wide open (I used 50mm f/1.8 at 1.8) which creates all kind of funny light effects in the background.
