On Dasher, On Dancer, On Bessie?

I bought this carved wooden Santa riding a cow the year we moved to Duluth. I think I was missing the state of Wisconsin. Today I used it to practice shots featuring bokeh. Christmas lights are a natural in these kinds of shots. The about dot com definition of bokeh is as follows, "Bokeh simply means fuzzy or out of focus. It is used to refer to the effect of shallow depth of field that creates a pleasing blur of color behind the subject. The type of lens and the depth of field play a large part in determining how out of focus the area is and whether or not it creates a pleasing effect in the image."
