Decorated Christmas Tree
Place the 12 pentominos in the Christmas Tree, so that they don't touch each other, not even diagonally. The pentominos may be rotated and/or mirrored. Every bold outlined area contains exactly three cells that belong to two different pentominos. Draw a Christmas Lights Cord through all the remaining white cells The cord goes only horizontally and vertically. It is part of the puzzle to find the start and end of the cord. One part of the cord is already given.
Solve online in Penpa+ (thx Nick Smirnov!)
I would like to thank Gabi. She translates a lot of my puzzles into German.
So: A BIG THANK YOU to Gabi!
Solution code: The content of the marked rows. For each cell the letter of the Pentomino and S for cells with a Light Cord.

Zuerst hat sich das Bäumchen ein bisschen gewehrt (ich und Pentominos...), aber jetzt sieht es wunderschön aus! Vielen Dank, Richard!
