When do you start decorating ?
So when does "deck the halls with skulls and ghosties?" I usually start around the last week of September for the inside and a few days later for the outside.
Do you wanna know why i use a knife? Guns are too quick.

Re: When do you start decorating ?
I usually start in early August with the heavy decorating. But I have some Halloween stuff up year round.

Re: When do you start decorating ?
Well it's the end of July and I've got most of my stuff up already. I guess being on these forums motivated me more this year. So I beat my previous record of early August
Re: When do you start decorating ?
I'm planning to put mine up early/mid September. I only do the inside because we live out in nowheresville so nobody gets to see the outside anyway. I plan on doing every room of the house this year. Last year I only did the living room and kitchen.

Re: When do you start decorating ?
I have had 2 paper mache candy containers and a small Autumn floral urn out since early June but don't want to get too into it or it would ruin my Fall.
I go all out starting on September 1st.

Re: When do you start decorating ?
I usually get around to decorating around the 15th of September. Sometimes a bit later than that. You get kind of motivated when your local drug store puts up their Halloween decorations for sale in the middle of August.

Re: When do you start decorating ?
That's what gets me. As soon as I see the Halloween merch out I want to start decorating, and since two stores I know of put out stuff in July that's when I start.

Re: When do you start decorating ?
Just reading this post made me think about decorating right now. I think I will put one or two things up (OUTSIDE!) . My parents might think I'm out of my head though. I know you guys decorate inside this early. But even you might think I'm crazy.

You're not crazy, someone in my neighborhood left some of their decorations up all year.Rising Dead Man wrote:Just reading this post made me think about decorating right now.

Re: When do you start decorating ?
I think that, at least for the outdoors, one should not begin decorating at least until September 21st, the fall equinox, or risk upsetting the neighbors. I myself don't like to put up decorations until October 1st and add throughout the month. I think it is more fun to build decorations on a daily basis, constantly giving my neighbors and myself a new surprise every day. I've noticed that some of the children in my neighborhood will make it a point to stop in front of my house everyday to try and discover what grisly item I have added most recently.

I wait until after Labor Day to start decorating inside - DH shakes his head when he sees the Halloween stuff coming in from the garage. October 1st is when I start working on the outside.

Re: When do you start decorating ?
The Rite-Aid drug store near home had te Fall aisle loaded this weekend, and everything was 1/2 price!!!
Needless to say I walked out with 4 bags of goodies, but only put out a couple of things. Don't wanna burn out...
