You want to set your settings to P (program mode but not automatic mode) use a tripod and do it in a half dark room. You need to have the lights on for focus (you may have to do manual focus) but once it is focused turn the room lights off and the christmas tree lights on and take your picture. You can also put your camera on manual mode and do 1/4 1/2 1 1.5 2 2.5 second exposures and see which one comes out best but I would use a f/stop of 8 - 11 to kepp it sharp with DOF
