A festive living room with a large lit Christmas tree to the right. In the foreground is a large square ottoman on top of a cream rug with matching cream upholstered chairs with wooden legs. To the right is a white mantelpiece with a floral garland. A room is seen beyond with a matching cream carpet and dark wood furniture, and two windows with white patterned curtains.
