I love the vignetting/burning around the outside. It's strong, but the rich color and bright center make it fade away. I agree that the white in the top right is a little distracting.

I wonder if you can bring out the colors a bit more if you selectively saturate them. It seems a bit too dark for me, maybe it's my monitor.
Otheriwse it's a good shot.

I really like the colors and the detail on the little snowman. If the white background area on the upper right corner could be covered with a tree branch or a Christmas light I think it would look even better.

Did not know this was yours, and I liked it anyway. Good finish.

It is very difficult to make a plastic decoration look good as the center piece of a photograph. You have done it very well.
Congratulations

I really like this one. It makes an ornament look much more interesting, yet still within its proper place. Bravo.

For ALL the Christmas decoration shots, this is the best one - simply because of the gentle, warm lighting. But enough with the decorations now! Well centred.

Last hurrah of the holiday season? :D The snowman looks great, as does most of the surrounding vicinity. You may have been better off just leaving the light in the upper left overexposed. The slight dodging on it just draws attention to it IMO and doesn't match the rest of the photo.

edit: Oops! I meant burning, not dodging. :/
