I saw a different Christmas-related photo originally, and it got me thinking\u2014what if I could flip the cheery, warm feeling of the holidays around and invoke something ominous? So I set out to find the perfect image that I felt could play both sides of that coin. (I will say, I had a very hard time finding a <em>nice<\/em> aesthetic Christmas photo under an appropriate Creative Commons license. A lot of them were kind of weird, honestly.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was <em>thrilled<\/em> when I found this photo\/audio combination. For one thing, despite how beautiful the the photo is, its title read sort of ominous to me already: <em>The Living Room<\/em>. The contrast of bright white against the windows also adds a layer of spook, with the reflected lights almost looking like glowing eyes in the deep darkness. Then I came across the audio clip\u2014simply using the search term &#8220;ominous&#8221;\u2014and knew this had to be the one. I love that it still has some whimsy and even channels Christmas a bit with the inclusion of the pipe organ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope I was able to highlight the spooky stillness of Christmas Eve night for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: &#8220;The Living Room&#8221; by\u00a0missbossy from Singapore, Singapore\u00a0is licensed under\u00a0CC BY 2.0.
