Incredibly Good Picture of a Fairly Sad Looking Christmas Tree

I swear I really took this picture of my parents Christmas tree with no filters or special effects. And I also have photographic proof that, by the light of day, it looks like something NOBODY in their right mind would want to capture on film.

You'd never guess that I clumsily threw these strings of lights over the tree in a rage similar to the guy on 'Bob Rivers 12 Pains of Christmas' This picture below is a better representation of the merry mirage that you see in the image above.

From this angle, you can see many more flaws, not to mention the generator that makes the haunting illumination possible! Merry Christmas everyone!
