What are the
best Halloween decorations? The answer to that question depends on your
personal preference.
I swear every year as I drive around town, I see more and
more people decorating for Halloween.
Some of
these decorations are to the extreme, and some are so simple. People decorating
outside for Halloween is becoming more and more like decorating for Christmas.
Halloween sure is a fun time for kids and adults alike, so why not live it up, enjoy it, and have some fun.
I never decorated too much for Halloween, but I seem to be doing
just a little more every year, I think that is because of our grandchildren.
They get so excited every year so decorating becomes a family event.
I string
orange lights around the front porch, and railings, add some cobwebs to the
bushes along with some ghosts on sticks, and of course light up the pumpkins
that we carve with our grandchildren.
Then there
is my favorite outside decoration that I’ve had for years now. It’s a six-foot
airblown inflatable. It’s a Witch Rising out of a Cauldron, and it lights up.
This thing has been the best decoration ever we’ve had so many laughs with it.
The kids
just love this thing year after year, they all stop and have to walk up to it
just to touch it. We even had one neighbor that had to walk his dog on the opposite side of the street, because the dog wouldn’t walk past the witch when we
had it turned on.

Decorating
inside the house is also so much fun, I’m getting to the point where I have
just as many totes in the basement for Halloween as I do for Christmas.
We have our
favorite Halloween table cloth, along with some wall décor like spiders and
webs. Then we place some light up pumpkins around the house.
We make our grandchildren a couple of
Halloween gift baskets filled with goodies.
On Halloween night we make our
favorite Halloween food for the kids, mummy dogs.
I’m getting
excited already, and there are still two months to go. We hope you have a safe
and happy Halloween.
That's funny about your neighbor's dog having to walk on the other side of the street to avoid the witch. No doubt our Daisy would react the same way! People around here, too, decorate more and more for Halloween then go right into Christmas decoration mode. So much fun!

I decided to see what all they had in halloween costumes before the kids got a look at them. They had a variety of halloween costumes ideas for the little kids. discount Halloween decorations
ReplyDeleteI leave the decorating to others, too costly for me living already on a stretched income. However, I do enjoy the Halloween fare and festivities of others, all of it! I like pumpkins, witches, spooky and friendly critters...and enjoy the fun the wee ones are having. My dog enjoys the pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ruth, Wishing you and Valentino a great Halloween.
DeleteHalloween will be here before we know it. My DIL decorates EVERYTHING (house and yard) for Halloween -- her favorite decor holiday -- and it takes her weeks to get everything ready. So Halloween decorations are a big deal at her house. :)
ReplyDeleteHow very special that is Pat. We also decorate for Halloween but not to that extent. I'd love to see it, take some pics and post them. I like Halloween because it marks the beginning of the Holiday season and I enjoy watching the kids have so much fun. Thanks :)
DeleteI'm more of a fluffy friendly Casper decorator :) - its' amazing the yard decorations which spring up each year!
ReplyDeleteI have way too many Halloween decorations! This year, we will be making Mummy Dogs.
ReplyDeleteWe've seen some amazing Halloween decorations this year. Love the blow-up ones like you have featured here.
