So you guys decorate your homes year round then?

Halloween is so much bigger for you guys over there, if people decide to decorate their house it will only be for the night whilst the children are trick or treating.
Should be fun this year, we've always avoided it as my son is petrified but now I have an up and coming seven year old with friends on the street that are talking about going tricking or treating. I can't deny my daughter the fun of it so better get my thinking cap on to make sure both are happy.

No young kids now so I don't do much. I carve a pumpkin,that is about it.

I bought some decorations at a yard sale the other day & also bought some chinese halloween lanterns for me & Quin to decorate & hang

I enjoy Halloween. And although it is autumn, it does not feel like it down here yet. It's windy, but too warm. That's why Hubby and I will go up to the Smokey Mountains the last week of October this year. We go up there to "find autumn".
Halloween will find us back at home and it will be on a Saturday this year. I plan to put out some little Halloween decorations in the front yard of that dollhouse Hubby made for me. I'll take some photos when I do.
