And the reason for these photos, was my attempt to capture starlight, without a tripod...impossible. This one was taken with the camera balanced on a box of candles for stability:

It features our one kid who has never spent an actual Christmas with us. 

There is something so peaceful about a lit Christmas Tree in the evenings. The only question left to ask is: why am I downstairs in the cold basement right now, instead of enjoying the lit tree?
