I have a thing about houses made from trees.

What better place for Santa to prepare the night before Christmas than from his base in his magic tree house.

The tree is a stock image I purchased and turned into a home, using lots and lots of stock images and some of my own 3D images to make it look as though you can see right inside.

It has about 200 layers in total.

Most of the work was done in Photoshop CC 2017 and a little in Poser to render my elves.

My image represents a little downtime after a busy day making sure all the gifts are ready to be loaded onto the sleigh. His helpers are beginning to turn up for their shift, to get things ready for lift off the night before christmas.
