well, i guess nobody said what season the "holiday" should be, except for hinting at scented candles. it is a nice shot. i love the freshness and composition.
Without the title this does not evoke a holiday spirit.Even with the title you are stretching the boundaries quite a bit. However, it is a very nice candid portrait. Too bad it fails to meet the challenge.
Sorry, don“t know what "invitrex" i, was tempted to vote this shot as being off topic but I let it slide since this could very well be very "chrismasy" from where you come. I like the shot.
