Halloween :)

I decorate in fall decor for Halloween...but several of my friends go all out with graveyards, smoke machines....very cool....(but I'm a little spooky of spooks, to tell the truth....)
 
Halloween is my favorite holiday. We are too far out of town to get any trick or treaters but we usually have a few people over and watch some scary movies and pig out.
 
I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It depends on what's going on at the time. Usually, I'm up to my eyeballs with football stuff and barely have time to get the kids a costume. I do decorate with some webs and spiders, sometimes with orange lights and I always let the kids put window clings on the doors and windows (and find some of them at Christmas time

). We usually put out a foddershock with some hay bales, pumpkins, and mums. We attempt to do dummies sometimes but not always. Oh, and we usually try to do the ghosts and pumpkins in the fruit trees (or our porch, we don't have any old trees

) and one of those big spiders to hang inside the house from the ceiling.

Oh, and we don't have trick or treaters either. We live 5 minutes from town but up in a hollow. I decorate for my kids

. When we moved here, the neighbor down the road got all excited saying that now here DH would let her put lights up for Christmas since my kids were going to be going by. I put up decorations before we had kids

Halloween! Especially vintage Halloween or repro items. I am also a fabric addict and love vinatge Halloween fabric. I should have a party-it would be fun!
 
My favorite holiday ever!!!! We had a party for the kids last year and they had a blast!!! We somehow ended up with far more kids than were planned/invited and it was wall to wall kiddos....which was so much fun!! The boys start planning their next costume on About November 1st. LOL My oldest son is thinking he will be a bearded lady this year. I was a vampire and OMG.....me at 37 wearing black fishnet stockings and a black dress that was wayyyyyyyyyy too short. LOL I think we may again this year!!! Our house is too far out for trick-or-treaters, too, which I like. I want to enjoy it, not have to sit by the door.

We don't get any trick-or-treaters either. I decorate mostly for myself. I enjoy it. I'm learning to do things with my own enjoyment in mind rather than for the benefit of others. That goes for my landscaping/flower planting and holiday decorating anyway. Since my husband has no opinion on the flowers, and only worries about Christmas decorations, I am the only person who needs to like my flowers/other holiday decorations.

Sorry that was a borderline rant...but it is true.

When we finally have kids the decorating will be for their enjoyment as well.

I have many more but my pics are too big!
 
It depends on my location. I have tons of decorations. I've lived in neighborhoods before where they will get stolen or destroyed and I've lived more rural where there were no trick or treaters.

I'm going to see about turn out here before I go all out.
