Challenge: Christmas Card

I took the picture late Wednesday night and am posting it early Friday morning. Thursday is in there somewhere, but I don't know where it went.

This is actually my traditional picture of our Christmas tree that I take on years when I have time to put up a tree. I think that I did a manual set of the shutter speed on this to try not to overexpose the tree lights. I would prefer the picture a little brighter, but I don't know how to do that without blowing the lights. So, at 3am, this is what you get. I gave it a gold border to simulate a gold foil trim and make it more "cardlike".

Canon PowerShot S50
1/8s f/2.8 at 7.1mm iso50 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Wow, this is lovely. Have never seen your tree- love the gold tone and how warm it looks, especially with the burgandy curtains behind it.
