Christmas

Christmas candles guarantee a cosy atmosphere

Lightly flickering, warm candlelight creates a cosy ambience, especially during the Christmas season. Especially on the long dark and cold winter evenings, atmospheric candlelight is a guarantee for a cosy feel-good atmosphere.

The special significance of light in the dark season is shown, among other things, by a Swedish custom: on 13 December, the Swedes celebrate the Santa Lucia festival. On this day, the Queen of Lights, Lucia, parades from house to house with a crown of burning candles together with her Lucia procession to bring light and warmth into the darkness of the Swedish winter nights.

Dip your home into a sea of candlelight too. Let yourself be enchanted by the candlelight and make yourself, your family and your friends cosy in the "warm room".

The Advent wreath - a Christmas decoration with tradition

Candlelight also has a far-reaching significance in our country. In Christianity, for example, candlelight is an important symbol that stands for Jesus and the light of the world

Furthermore, it is hard to imagine the pre-Christmas season without an Advent decoration without an Advent wreath with the four highly symbolic candles. Not only children love the tradition of lighting the first candle on the first Sunday of Advent, the second on the second Sunday of Advent and the third on the third Sunday of Advent in joyful anticipation of Christmas Eve. On the fourth and thus last Sunday of Advent, all four candles finally light up as an omen of the long-awaited Christmas that is now to follow.

For a long time, it was unusual to decorate the traditional Advent wreath made of fir branches. There was only room on the wreath for the four candles. Nowadays, many people do not limit themselves to this. Often the wreaths are decorated with small Christmas baubles, bows or other accessories. There are no limits to creativity. Whether the decorations are classic red or gold or more stylish silver, purple or pink is entirely up to the personal taste of the individual.

Tip: If you prefer something more modern, simply place four beautiful Advent candles on a stylish (for example silver, gold or brass-coloured) decorative tray. Four candles of different heights look particularly decorative here. The purist is happy to do without further decoration.

Decorative Christmas figures: deer are on the rise

Angels, Santas, snowmen and also penguins have been very popular as Christmas decorations for many years and are therefore frequently encountered. From the small wooden angel to the illuminated Santa Claus in XXL format, there is something to suit every taste.

Even though the Christmas sleigh is actually pulled by a reindeer, the deer is currently even more popular as a Christmas decoration. Whether as a small standing or lying silver decorative figure for the table, as an illuminated Christmas figure for the garden or as a lighting tube in the shape of a deer - if you do not yet own a decorative deer, it is high time you got one.

The absolute eye-catcher is a deer antler as decoration. As a candleholder with small holders for stick candles, a stylishdeer antler chandelier undoubtedly outranks the common chandelier

Forget Rudolph the reindeer. Opt for a deer antler candleholderand you'll earn admiring glances from your guests.

Lighting objects in the garden provide that certain something

A Christmas lighting with LED technology is becoming increasingly popular. Don't limit yourself to illuminating your living room decoratively. In the garden and on the terrace you should also set glamorous highlights with chic illuminated objects.

Themodern light objects can be conveniently switched on and off by remote control. So you don't even have to leave the house in the cold and snow to make your light objects in the outdoor area glow.

By the way, moisture cannot harm high-quality LED light objects. So you don't have to worry about safety.

Lay comfortably on the sofa and transform your garden or your terrace into a sea of light at the touch of a button. With many light objects, the light can also be dimmed depending on the mood.

Imagine that the snow is softly trickling outside and that in the evening, when it is dark, you let your light objects glow slightly in the garden. A winter's day in the Christmas season could hardly be more cosy!
