how to shoot Christmas lights


 
 
hi. my family and I have just put up the Christmas lights and I wanted to take a picture of our house. I have a sony dsc v1 digital camera.

i took some photos but found out that the lights get blurry and aren't crsip. also, the whole picture is a bit orange reddish. maybe I should use the light bulb or tungsten mode?

the lights only turned crsip when I used a fast shutter, but the house was very dark.

how can I achieve in shooting crisp Christmas lights on our house? ill provide you a picture.

thanks and any help is appreciated!
