Initial feeling: Sweet, gentle shot of Eeyore, Piglet considering some mischief. I like the feeling, but the angled line of the corner, the blue clips, along with the constant search for what they are waiting for, is distracting.

Composition: Not bad, I like it with one exception. As a suggestion, cropping out the right blurred third would help.

Color: The selective desat helps to bring out yous subjects, but the blue on the wall is very destracting. Also, I would suggest bumping the brightness to bring out the colors of the bed and animals.

I like the idea, and I believe I understand what, and who, they are waiting for!

Keep shooting. Cheers! Ben

Not sure about the desat. My eye is looking for color where there is none. The lampshade, for example. Otherwise a nice idea.

Im not sure what it is that is wanted for christmas, a kid to come home? did a child pass away, im really not getting the meaning here. On a technical note. It seems like the only think in focus (kind of) is Eeyore, the lighting is very very flat, and I dont know what purpose the blue squiggles on the wall are serving.

Not sure I understand this shot.. What you want for Christmas is.. a child? Maybe? On a technical note, the blue clips on the wall are a bit distracting.
