Very Christmas. Perhaps using the christmas tree lights and by brining down the global lighting could have made this more interesting.

If I found these under my tree it would actually scare me to death.

It is pretty and tenderizing, the photograph is balanced. But it misses a little color which would give a little more the effect of festival

Too crowded in my opinion. I would have liked to see more emphaize on the puppies eyes!

Very cute, but the upper half is a a little too busy for me. The pups are adorable. Maybe a little bit tighter on the puppies.

Puppies and Christmas, what else can I do but 10!

Gorgeous puppies, I would like to see more of them in the frame and less of the tree.

Very appropriate. The are very tender looking. Hope they grow up to be big dogs. One dog may have been enough and it would look like a present.

This captures all the emotions, and such a wonderful composition, super idea, and magical photo for this time of year. I just love it, well done.

Going for the Ahh vote ;-)
unfortunately there is just too much clutter in the background. You had a terrific opportunity to get a very simple and effective aaaaaaaah, but you destroyed the opportunity by allowing the viewers eye to wander aimlessly around your image.

Just a tightly cropped close up of the pups would have been so much more effective. Less is more.
