I've got mine done. Not doing much outside since we are getting ready for a move in the next few months...hoping by Thanksgiving.

Does dustingthe living room count???

My wife was torn between either Oct 1 or after Canadian Thanksgiving as the day to decorate for Halloween. Thanksgiving won out. She has in the past (quite frequently, actually) started decorating for Christmas as soon as the last kid shows up on Halloween. I just let her do her thing lol.

I brought out my Halloween/Fall stuff on the first of October.

"Pumpkin spice" short & fat orange candle on a black wrought iron stand, little ceramic pumpkin-kitty knick-nack from my daughters, tiny boyds bear stuffed teddy bear with Happy Halloween t-shirt from my SIL, trick-or-treat candy dish with mechanical hand that grabs you, candy in the dish. Gold pretty runner for the dining table.

That's it, I display a couple items on the dining table and a couple items on a ledge of stairway.

I bought a few Halloween/fall decorations with dd last week. It's making me very excited to decorate for Christmas!! I usually start that and put up the tree the last weekend in November after the Santa parade

I've put up some outside decorations and a roomful inside for Fall. Starting to get into the spirit of things...still warm here.

Yes I've had mine out since the beginning of October. Decorated my big grapevine wreath in the greatroom that's my avatar. I have fall candles around the house and have my basket of gourds and indian corn w/my homemade towel scarecrow on the kitchen table. Have a basket full of pinecones on a shelf. Have my homemade grapevine wreath on the door and a basketfull of gourds on the table on the front porch and my pumpkin and mums on the steps.

No and its just killing me! I usually get pumpkins and flowers and a hay bale every year. Oh and gourds. But due to budget cuts here-no. I did talk DH into candy for the trick or treaters. I also sent Ds a huge pkg. at college. My kids are older but I do enjoy the decorating.sigh.

**SewFrugal** · 10-13-2011, 04:33 PM

I haven't decorated at all. I used to be into it when I first got married. But in the last few years I really get bummed out from fall through the new year. I just really dread the holidays and all the expectations that come with it. My kids are still little so we have to go through the motions (like spending holidays with family members that drive me nuts. LOL). Does anybody else feel this way? I'm thinking when the kids are grown my husband and I will spend Christmas on a beach somewhere LOL.

We are really into decorating for Halloween this year. Our 18 month old gs is loving the decorations! We haven't done this much since my kids were in middle school.

We decorate for Thanksgiving the first weekend after Halloween. I wish I could decorate more seasonally, there's not enough time.

The day after Thanksgiving we start decorating for Christmas. I leave my Christmas decorations up until mid January. I almost can't bear to take them down.
