yes, I decorate despite October being a month of anniversaries; my mom and first husband deaths, it is a way I celebrate their life by honoring one of their favorite holidays. last year, my courtyard was decorated with a theme of Game of Thrones. I made a plastic lawn chair out foam swords from a dollar store, inflatable fire breathing dragon, a fog machine, game of throne banner, candles, dragon eggs, etc. I even dressed up as one of the characters- blond wig, boots, and blue caped dress. we had about 200 trick or treaters along with their parents. all had a good time and enjoyed the evening. Not sure what the theme will be this year.

I love Halloween and Fall, I decorate inside and outside using both Halloween and Fall themes. We also live in a newer subdivision with lots of families. We have Trick or Treat night or Beggars night on the 31st, most surrounding communities have T&T on the 30th, we get a lot of cars of probable double dippers. My new pet peeve is adults asking for treats for infants in the stroller.
A tradition in Central Iowa is the kids telling a joke/riddle for the treat, hence why we call it Beggars Night.

Last year I made a rectangle table topper in a Halloween theme for my niece for her Oct. bday. I loved it! My plan was to make myself one for this year, doesn't look like it going to happen.
And I have way too much Halloween fabric. I love it all!!!

I don’t do a lot of Halloween decorating but have pumpkins on my porch and a good witch on my door. I turn on all the outside lights on Halloween and have treats ready for the children that come. We have dedicated hours here so it ends about 8pm. I love the little kids and their costumes. I think I have as much fun as they do!

As a kid we used to go trick or treating and living in town we could have over 300 trick or treaters but no decorations around the house. Now I live in the country; NO trick or treaters and still don't decorate and very little halloween fabric; some glow in the dark cats. A quiet time for me and that is ok.
