Assembling Christmas - If I hold my mouth right, it will fit!

It is time to give serious thought to how I will light the photos for Christmas. This attempt uses three very diffuse lights in an attempt to light the entire room more or less evenly. There are still shadows but there is a point where too few shadows looks more unnatural than the standard direct flash. Opinions/suggestions welcome.

Canon EOS 30D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
1/125s f/8.0 at 35.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

The shirt colors work well with the tree. Wonderfully composed!

I think the lighting looks very good and your son has a cute expression on his face.

I think it looks good and the shadow is very slight it should be there to give the 3d effect.. I think is a good catch of the child..
