I think you used the right setting, it just might be a matter of holding the camera more still so that you don't get the blurr --- using a tripod, or even making the shutter speed quicker (i'm guessing on this one) so that it isn't open enough to catch the slightest movement in your hand?

Rest the camera on the roof of a car and take the picture.
Especially at night, the teeny tiniest movement will cause blurring.

I agree. Use a tripod, or use another object AS a tripod. Other than the blurring, i think those are coming out great.
Alternately you can put your camera in manual mode (some digis have this) and set it to a wide aperture (smaller number) and faster shutter speed. That will also reduce blurring. Another thought we be to put it on "Action" or "sports" mode which will automatically set it to a higher shutter speed.

Re: Our outside chrsitmas pics and I need picture taking help...
The reason "night landscape" may be difficult on this one is because the lights are so bright, the camera is picking those up. It's hard for digital cameras, or any cameras really to let in the correct amount of light when there is so much bright light in the foreground and a darker background, which will make everything but the lights look darker than it needs to.

Definitely agree - the settings are fine - opt for the car roof instead. The shutter is slowed down to take in the lights so any movement you make from the time the shutter is open until the time it closes is goign to blur everything.

Re: Our outside chrsitmas pics and I need picture taking help...
Another thought that just occured to me while playing with my photos..
Nighttime mode color adjusts for outoor photos. Outdoor light is blue, artificial light is orange. A lot of people don't realize that outdoor film and indoor fi;m are different. Outdoor/flash fi;m adjusts for the blue light, indoor fi;m adjusts for the orange light, which is why if you use the wrong fi;m your photos will come out orange or blue tinted.
Digital cameras also make these same adjustments. Landscape mode adjusts for blue light, so when taking photos of incandescent lights, such as christmas lights, it can take on an orange tinge (you can see it in the pictures fo your white lighted deer). I sort of like it for photos of christmas lights because it's a warmer look.
But anyway, that's another thing to consider when trying to figure out how to set your camera.
