When do you decorate your home for Halloween and start crafts etc?

Genuinely intrigued by those who decorate for the seasons - can you give me an idea of what you do?

Autumn is my favourite time of year but other than chucking on some cosy sofa throws and putting out some tea lights it's never even occurred to me that others go all out.

31st October. When did it become a thing to decorate in advance?

Light candles for the departed souls and frown at all the plastic tacky stuff shortly to end up in landfill.

This is the first year I have decorated for autumn. Nothing too much but a wreath, pumpkins by the front door.

The kids wanted too and it does make the house brighter. We will decorate for Halloween by carving the pumpkins and we have some decorations that go out every year tomb stone etc that will go out on Halloween.

Wish I had the time to fart about decorating my house every other week. Do people not have jobs any more??

I was really gutted to give up my job but the Christmas decorations needed to go up and I couldn't manage both in the same year. The benefits people were really understanding though. I spent my money from the public purse on plastic spiders and goats this year BTW.

We don’t do it anymore. But when the girls were little we used to carve a pumpkin & put up some decorations on the day so that people knew we had sweets in for trick or treaters.

Already have. My toddler has paid lots of attention to stuff in the shops and we got some new bits. I then sorted loft and found loads. So when I sorted it I put it up with her every morning she gets up and puts the pumpkin lights on and wants the pumpkin candles lit.
We've already carved pumpkins too. As well do throughout the month.

About lunchtime. All down when the children go to bed.

@unicornpower Thank you, no I don't mind fake ones. I like stuff that can be reused year after year

[Legoandloldolls]

Just that week. Or whenever mould starts appearing from the pumpkins mouth. Mould on the pumpkin is a good barometer for Halloween being over in this house!

[Topseyt]
