Weihnachtskerze, Weihnachtsstille, Weihnachtsfrieden

Christmas still life featuring a single glowing candle as the peaceful centerpiece. The candle is tall, ivory-colored, and slightly rustic, with soft wax drips forming gentle shapes along its sides. Its flame burns steadily and warm, casting a golden halo and delicate shadows across the scene. Surround the candle with subtle natural elements: fresh evergreen branches, a few pinecones dusted with fine frost, and scattered red berries adding a touch of quiet festivity. The background is softly blurred, bathed in muted warm tones, evoking the gentle calm of a winter evening. A faint glow reflects off a nearby ornament or glass surface, adding depth without distracting from the candle. The atmosphere should feel still, contemplative, and comforting--like a moment of breath and peace during the Christmas season.
