Do you decorate your home for Hallowe'en?  |
| |
| Not everyone celebrates Hallowe'en, I understand that. But as someone who grew up in Ontario, I have been exposed to the "holiday" my entire life... and I LOVE IT!!! I dress up every year, and decorate my house some too. I wish I lived in a nicer neighbourhood, because then I would buy some really great decorations for outside. However, I can't trust that items won't go missing, so I keep my decorating to a minimum, and mostly inside. I try not to go with tacky decorations, although I admit, sometimes that simply cannot be helped. A prime example of that is my living room window, which is decorated with mini plastic "pumpkin" lights and a bunch of window clings. This year, my "new" decoration is for my dining room table. A centrepiece display, I guess you could call it. From afar, it looks like a vase filled with stones. But on closer inspection, you will find those "stones" are actually all little plastic skulls, and topped off with a tarantula to boot! EEK! I added a few (fake) black crows as well. You can see it in the picture I've attached to this discussion. Do you decorate your home for Hallowe'en? What sort of decorations do you use? | | Table Centrepiece | | | | |

| | You could still decorate some inside your home, just like you might for Christmas. Some would argue that I decorate for my kids, but the fact of the matter is I do it for me. I started long before I had kids of my own, and will continue long after they're moved out. | | | |

| | A 6 foot tall spider! COOL! I'm not a fan of REAL spiders, but the fake ones I have no issues with whatsoever! :D I have some of that webbing stuff, and might consider putting some of it outside closer to Hallowe'en. I'll have to see what kind of mood I'm in. | | | |

| | Hi CanadaGal, I personally don't at all but it is becoming more popular here in the UK and my neighbour really goes to town with it and decorates her house as if it were Christmas and has all sorts of bas and spiders webs, and couldrons as well as pumpkins and dresses the whole family up and has a party too. It all looks very effective and very spooky LOL. Huggles. Ellie :D | | | | | | |

| | I want to live in a house that I can do stuff like your neighbour does! :D Sounds like a blast! :D It's getting easier to find decorations nowadays here, thanks to "Dollar Stores". Oh how I love them! Yes, they have tons of the cheesy decorations, but there are some lovely items in amongst them all as well. | | | |

| | I am not a big decorator. I do the CHristmas tree at christmas time but that's really about it. That centre piece of yours is pretty cool though. | | | | | | |

| | The electricity rates are crazy expensive, I agree! I don't go overboard with xmas lights either. I have my tree, which it all dolled up in white lights (can't remember how many, but a LOT lol), and one small string of mini lights in my living room window. That's it. Not very fancy at all. Of course, there's the other odds and ends like placemats and towels and pot holders that I use every year too. I have enough stuff to make my house look like a tacky xmas museum, but I hold back, and put out a few items only. Thank you for sharing the picture of your old house. :) That is a lot of lights for sure! | | | |

| | We actually buy ceramic pumpkins and skulls and I have a 6 feet tall spider web candle holder and black metal skull wall hangings. We actually find a lot of this nice stuff at dollar tree, family dollar and wallgreens. Except for the large candle holder, I got that at Spencers gifts years ago on sale after Halloween.I also have a ceramic cauldron and pottery glass bats and glass snow globes with Skulls and Bats in them. You may think this is odd but since my birthday is in October and friends and family know I like halloween and they often buy me nice Halloween decorations, like very nice glass snow globes and silver skull candy bowls..LOL We usually keep this stuff out until december because we have so much it's a pain to put away and since we don't have much storage space we have to store some of this stuff in our glass curio cabinet. I also have halloween fake potion bottles that look really cool and lots of halloween candles and candle holders, a large paper weight with a real tarantula incased in resin.Large black owl candle holder. I'll be here all night typing all the creepy stuff we have been collecting for years. We really don't do the plastic skulls on windows or doors, just mostly decorate inside except a few days before halloween when the pumpkins go out. Btw, your center peice table skull vase is cool. Great Ideal! :) | | | | | | |

| | Usually I do...but not this Halloween. And it was a good thing too. It would have been wasted. For some reason I only got about 6 trick or treaters and usually I get 100 or more kids. | | | | | | |
