Adorable Australian Shepherd by a Decorated Christmas Tree

A fluffy blue merle Australian Shepherd sits contentedly on a warm wooden floor beside a beautifully decorated Christmas tree in a cozy living room. The tree sparkles with twinkling fairy lights, glass baubles, red ribbons, candy canes, and a shining star on top. Soft fireplace glow, plush rug, and a stack of wrapped gifts create a warm holiday atmosphere. The dog wears a red plaid collar, looks at the viewer with big brown eyes, ears perked, tail wagging slightly. The fur is fluffy and detailed, with realistic light catching the coat. Warm golden-hour lighting, gentle bokeh from the tree lights, and a sense of heartwarming charm.
