I have my Christmas tree lights in a zigbee smart plug and some more lights on the front of the house as well. They turn on around sunset if I'm home or when I come home after sunset.
I don't even have a christmas tree ๐
I think having decoration for one special holiday (christmas, easter, etc.) is a bit too wasteful for the small amount of storage capacities I have, especially when it's single use.
I think decorating for certain seasons (spring instead of easter, snowflakes and stuff for winter, and so on) is cooler and less stressful.
I'm growing a few small-ish indoor trees right now (citrus, banana, etc.), which can be used as christmas tree next year, when they're bigger ๐
I think my comment was a bit off topic, but if it inspires at least one person reading this it was worth it ๐
Who says the tree has to be christmas only? My mother usually left the tree up most of the year and decorated it for the various holidays. Like hanging easter eggs on it on easter, ghosts and pumpkins on halloween, etc.
