Ralph's, in Christmas Story, dreamed of a BB gun under the tree. Took a 8 sec timed shot an removed the gun half way through to show only a ghostly image.

I enjoy this view of a table top tree with elegant red draping below and excellent capture of lights and decorations. Makes me wish the image would be all about the tree.
Hehe! What a classic move. This does look a bit grainy on my screen, and for some reason the gun almost looks green, but you've set your shot up very nicely. The only thing I might have changed would be to move the "Merry Christmas" words at the bottom if possible, they're a little distracting. But otherwise this is very well done!
