I wanted to create an intimate feeling like a mother reading the Christmas story to her daughter, but I wanted it to feel like she was also reading to me (as a viewer) I wanted to make it feel intimate (all of the shallow depth of field) as well as a bit warmer than usual to give us all of the warm feels during Christmas time.
