Hand held, available light, slightly cropped, brightened, added highlights, slightly sharpened... tried to capture the ambience of observing the ornaments on a tree under natural room light. This is my first submission -- ever.
Please be gentle. Thanks! (The outhouse ornament is a one-of-a-kind, handmade creation. Will be treasured for years to come, ribbon-worthy or not.) This was fun. Hope to do more!

I just don't get this I'm afraid. It looks like the focus grabbed the foreground leaves, leaving the majority of the image slightly blurred. This doesn't work for me because I am trying to read whatever is hanging on the side to see what is going on. I think this has potential, and I think I am just missing the obvious. Sorry.
You must have noticed yourself that this pic is noisy and blurred. Why not lower your ISO, punt the cam on a tripod or stack of books and use a long exposure instead?
Very funny. The image itself is a touch grainy, but you were clearly shooting high ISO in low light. Nonetheless, it brought a smile to my face and I give it a good score for originality.
