Christmas isn't just festive, it's also smart. Because even the fairy lights are networked today. With the smartphone. And thus controllable via app The most fantastic Christmas tree scenarios are possible. Find out everything else you need to know about the most beautiful time of the year in the following article:
There is actually no universal Christmas decoration start date. Of course you can take the first Advent** as an opportunity to decorate. Or you can follow the church year. This ends on the last Sunday before the first Advent - on Totensonntag. Ultimately, it depends on when you get into the Christmas spirit.
Tip: If you would like to decorate earlier, you can do so to your heart's content. But it's best to wait until after the Sunday of the dead before switching on the light spectacle. Then nobody is disturbed too much.
The holiday of the Three Kings is the last day of the Christmas season for many decoration enthusiasts. This is the 6. January. If you don't want to part with the great light decoration, you need to know: The calendar of the church year describes the 2. February as the end of the Christmas season. Candlemas is the name of this day. So it's no problem to leave everything decorated until then.
The Christmas season is so beautiful - it's hard to imagine that anything at all should be forbidden when it comes to lighting. In principle, it is not. This is because festive lighting is a recognized and widespread custom. There is even a court ruling on this: A landlord wanted to prohibit his tenant from hanging up a string of lights. He didn't get away with it - to the delight of all fans of colorful fairy lights.
Tip: If in doubt, just talk to the landlord. Then he doesn't feel left out. And maybe you can even infect a Christmas grouch with your enthusiasm.
But of course it's also true: You shouldn't get on anyone's nerves with your Christmas lights. You should place flashing and perhaps even music-playing decorations in such a way that they don't disturb your neighbors' sleep, because if the neighbors are startled out of their sleep after the fifth "Jingle Bells", the fun stops.
And another tip: Decorations that attract attention through light and sound are better used indoors. Outside only if your property is large enough to leave the neighbors in peace.
Good to know: According to law, Christmas lighting must not be significantly brighter than the other lighting on site. And what's more, the usual night-time quiet hours of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. also apply here, so it's best to use a timer for the flashing fairy lights.
You've probably guessed it: the selection gets bigger every year. And smarter too. Because Smart Home doesn't stop at the Christmas season. You can now control your light chain via smartphone app without any problems. Or let your poinsettia change color by remote control.

For the garden, of course, the chain of lights should not be missing. And if you can operate them from the window using your smartphone, all the better. Do you want to bring out the big guns? And impress the neighborhood? Then get one step closer to your goal with a Christmas figure for outside. Light tubes and curtains also look great in the garden. But then please ensure that the protection class is appropriate. It should be IP44. This protects the lights against foreign bodies larger than one millimeter and also against splashing water.
Do you think a luminous zoo in your own garden is great? Then bring moose, polar bears, birds, reindeer and seals to your winter meadow. But bright Christmas and snowmen also look great on balconies and terraces. LED silhouettes are particularly simple and effective in outdoor areas at night - there are no limits to your imagination.
The great thing about window decorations is that they brighten up the interior and exterior at the same time. Because as long as the shutters remain up, neighbors and pedestrians also benefit from your lighting design. It looks great, especially in the evening. Here, too, you are spoiled for choice. Because the choice is huge. Some ideas: Candle arches** look great on the windowsill. And Christmas stars can also be beautifully decorated there.
