candles

Create an image of a still life composition representing Eastern Orthodox Christmas. The scene includes a small, elegantly decorated Christmas tree with twinkling lights and colorful ornaments, a shining star at the top. Next to it, a silver pitcher, reflecting the soft light, and a collection of beautifully wrapped gifts. A few lit candles are placed in the foreground, casting a warm, gentle glow. The background is plain with a slightly textured surface, and the lighting is soft, resembling north-facing window light. The composition is strong and simple.
