Candy Cane Tree?

I have my own little tradition of staying up later than anyone on Christmas Eve, arranging presents, and taking pictures. I had some fun with this one. The candy canes don't exist; it's an optical illusion created by a certain camera setting.
















The tree really looks like this. Couldn't find the angel we usually put on top. Oh, well. No one seemed to really miss her. It made me realize that some things just don't matter.
