there is still room for improvement here:

 some of the presents were rotated in this image but i'am still
playing with that.  this is alot better that my previous present
distribution. my attempt at having a fire in the fireplace was so bad
that I abandoned that feature for now.  the tree is made from over 175
thousand spheres and cones.  I want to make a mesh based tree instead.
this is still a work in progress in my opinion. 

considering render time, and that the power supply in my pc died the
following day it will have to wait to be rerendered. this is the best
i will be able to do before christmas day :)
