I absolutely LOVE the big, fuzzy, out of focus Christmas tree lights as a background for any photo. It almost sounds like I know what I’m doing, when I say that I’m playing around with aperture and bokeh. Honestly, I don’t even know if I’m pronouncing bokeh correctly. All I know is that it looks really pretty when you follow the directions on real photographers’ websites.
Here is a link that tells you the secret ingredients for photos like these.

Becca you are very right, the soft little blurred glittering light behind the main object looks really beautiful… like one of yours…
