Description
Brightly colored Christmas trees are some of my favorite holiday subjects. At the same time I also love depicting the rainbow spectrum (see “Dispersion“, “Portals“, and “Philomath“) . This render brings the two themes together. The title is, of course, a line borrowed from “A Night Before Christmas” and expresses my hope that everyone everywhere have a lovely December regardless of their background (or even if they celebrate the holiday).

Imagine being unable to see a variety of colors together without thinking it’s a political message. Worse, even if it is a message, imagine having a problem with supporting LGBTQ etc. rights. Dogshit humans. Great render, but fuck haters.

The Gay Pride symbol never even occurred to me when I looked at this, and after reading the disgruntled comments, I still see it for exactly what it is: a colorful and very beautiful Christmas tree display. Sometimes a rainbow is a rainbow, and if it implies a spectrum in a symbolic way, how does that not fit in with Christmas? Everyone can have an opinion, I suppose, but I’m extremely tired of seeing complaints about “wokeness” where it doesn’t exist. Bravo Ryan! Happy 2023!

I look forward to the new holiday DBs sooooooo much. I love this one so much. The sparkles in the snow. The glowing reflectionat the base of the trees. The vivid colors on the dark background. Like all art, look at it and let your heart decide what you see. I see peace and love. Thank you so much for all you do.

I love everything about this one! Personally for me, I view the rainbow more generically as a sign of peace and acceptance of others; quite fitting for the season! 🙂

I’m with some of the others. The craft is on-point but not a fan of the political message. I’m sure there is an audience for this but pride month is in June, I just wanna celebrate Christmas.

I wish I could rate this 6 stars! Well done.

What caught my eye the most on this was the trees’ illumination against the snow covered floor and shadows. Well done!

Love it! Would also love to see variants with a single tree, and each variant is one of the colors! I like to color match my wallpapers lol.

Well done….on so many levels. It works for many festive wallpapers, not just Christmas. I would have this up just to celebrate winter. Regardless of any petty issues with perceived political associations – this is yet another beautiful piece of artwork. Besides, my Christmas trees have never been all just white lights, or just red & green. Bah. Boring! This piece is wintery, multi-colored, and brilliant – in celebration of this festive, bright season. This is a cumulative representation of all the many childhood colors that brilliantly created my Christmases since childhood: Christmas trees, paper chains, gift wrap, etc. Not to mention the quality and detail of the image: light effects and detail, shadows, and the overall wintery mood. Once again, as with ALL of your artwork…..well done!

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and yours Ryan. Christmas is my favorite time of year. And I always look forward to your Christmas Renders, but honestly I’m not sure how I feel about this one. I totally get where your coming from and I also love the colors in Rainbows, I’m just not sure if it fits with Christmas. Anyways thank you for all the beautiful renders you create.

I love your wallpapers and the Christmas ones have been part of my Christmas season for many, many years. I’m disappointed with this one because of the political message. I would also not be supportive of Red, White and Blue theme even though I’m very patriotic. I’m also supportive of Ukraine, but wouldn’t be supportive of Yellow/Blue Ukraine flag theme. I do appreciate you doing the wallpaper early so people who do like it can enjoy it all season. This will be the first time in twenty years that I won’t be using your newest Christmas wallpaper as my desktop picture, but thankfully there are many wonderful ones from past years to choose from. Maybe next year you can create one that celebrates Christmas without a political message.
