Christmas lights

It is no longer the case that houses and gardens are strewn with Christmas lights only in the USA; this custom has also spread here in recent years.

If you are not satisfied with just a decorated Christmas tree in the living room, then you are in the right place.

There are many ways to light up your garden at Christmas, from LED string lights to light decorations to laser projectors.

The whole house can be dressed in a long light cable, easily following every part of its outline. You can use classic light chains on tall and small trees, bushes, etc.

Light up the trees in your garden

Do you have fruit and other leafy trees in your garden that are bare during the winter? Use light chains and wrap them around the trunks and branches of individual trees. Use binding wire to secure.

This is how you can decorate any tree, including tree stumps that you sit on when you grill in the garden or make a fire to roast burritos.

Conifers are ideal because they can be decorated with Christmas lights and classic decorations, so in addition to the Christmas tree in the living room, feel free to make another one in the garden.

Choose the biggest coniferous tree you can find and decorate it richly with Christmas decorations, preferably bigger ones, and add light chains.

Christmas boxes with lights

If you have boxes on the windows or the terrace, use them and make them a separate Christmas decoration.

Attach a few decorations, preferably giant balls, and Christmas lights, ideally white LEDs, and you have taken care of the decoration.

Decorate all of them one by one in this way, and if you also have flower pots with conifers, decorate them with Christmas light chains.

When you have children, you want their Christmas to be as magical as possible. Nothing lights up a child’s eyes more than a flood of lights and cribs. How about finding a place for him in the garden?

Outdoor nativity scene and characters

A large wooden nativity scene can become the center of your Christmas garden decoration. Attach lighting around the roof, a large shining star on the house’s gable.

Put some straw inside, a cradle, and figures representing Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus, and place everything in the garden under lighted trees. It looks perfect.

Christmas light decorations and figurines

The more light, the more beautiful the Christmas garden. If you are manually skilled, you can turn your garden into an animal paradise. You only need strong wires, light cables, chains, and imagination.

Shape the wires into different animal motifs and attach the Christmas lights to them using the binding wire. Suddenly, a deer, a reindeer, a polar bear, and many others will lighten up your garden.

You can also buy many such decorations; if they are not precisely to your liking, there is no problem in customizing them.

Christmas decorations in the garden

When the lighting is ready, it’s time for the decorations. It can be said that the order in which you decorate is up to you. Some people start with decorations and only add lighting, but often, it is done the other way around.

Start decorating and cover the chosen conifer with decorations and Christmas chains. You can choose plain, patterned, or simply as you like.

Decorated door

Do you own a large plot of land, and there is an entrance with a large gate in front of the road to the house? Or do you have an ordinary fence around the house? Decorate it with Christmas ornaments and twigs.

Trees and shrubs

Are there small bushes or trees in the garden, such as thuja?

Make them special with decorations, either balls or stars. This Christmas garden decoration looks stylish and will add not only a touch of luxury to the garden but also the right Christmas atmosphere.

Advent decoration for the garden

The Christmas garden can also be enlivened with purely natural materials, such as pine cones, spices, dried fruit, etc.

However, remember that dried foods and spices, in particular, have a limited shelf life and deteriorate more quickly outdoors.

Christmas garden decoration can take many forms. We hope you found inspiration in our article on how to create it this year at home or at your cottage.
