Aww, and I started to think that my unfinished Christmas tree might be
finished this year  :-(
It could still work well though because using only a few strategically
placed colored lights could do fine for making the illumination on walls
etc.
It's really the number of pine needles, or the way I applied them, that is a
major drawback parse-wise for that particular tree.
These glow example images are tremendous btw.  Seems people might have done
the same with media and lights before but these images have a quality all
there own.  A frosted glass between camera and subject kind of way.
