Little Santa and his lights

I took a lot of random photos last year at Christmas. My camera was shiny and new and I was trying to figure out how to use even a portion of its features. Like the focus. I knew there was a was to tell it where to focus, but it was beyond me. I think I had to take this photo a dozen times just to get it to focus on Santa.

This year the challenge will be photographing holiday lights in the dark. I've been reading an article about it and I'm eager to try it. I just need to get my tree up first to give me something to play with.

I'm participating in Manic Monday today with the theme of Lights.
