You can't do Christmas photography without trying to capture some of the beautiful light displays put on by many around this season. Night photography is always a bit tricky. You can't use too high an ISO setting. How long do you time it for? What aperture do you use? All these things come with a bit of experimentation and practice. Fortunately, digital cameras today, it's much easier. You don't have to try some things, go home, develop the film (or give it to a photo developer) only to find out you messed up and have to do it again.
I find that, for the Lens I used for these shots (Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II) that if you open the lens up to F2.8, the images tend to be a bit soft. I find, that with most lenses, a nice mid-range aperture of about F8.0, ISO between 200 and 400 and an exposure time of .5" to 2" (depending on ISO and amount of light) work really well.
