Several photos - my grandson, a small Christmas tree, a window, and a store Santa - merged and blended together. Text was added per the rules to make it a Christmas card. Because of different lighting conditions, several different aperatures and ISO settings were used.

Cute idea, but there is too much conflict in the blending - especially the lighting. For example, santa lit from the left, boy lit from the right, stocking underexposed, boy overexposed. Blending multiple images is too easy, but very, very difficult to do well. Lot more to it than is obvious.

How true that is!
I see Santa was out in the cold too long, and his face got a bit frostbitten.

First thing i noticed in this image was the PJ's - my son has the identical set.
I'd like to see a bit more lighting from the left side. Santa seems fully illuminated from the left but nothing else is - that's a bit distracting, as are the shadowy ornament/stocking.
Overall nice image, but keeping lighting equal is key (as i've been reminded of in my own entries time and time again).
