Halloween decor

I will say I bought some cabbages and a mum last weekend when it was cooler and they look pretty sad in this heatwave.

My mums are happy, why are you so bad at mum care? It’s probably that you are low class.

By decorating, if you mean putting out the cheap crap I see all over HomeGoods and the like, then no. I don't do that, now or at all.


My kids make crafts that I hang up to decorate, but I don't start doing that until October.

Why does OP feel the need to start this thread, knowing that it would bring criticism?

The older kids start designing their costumes in September so we have time to make them, and the little ones start planning their costumes and making any little crafts they want to display. Then on 9/30 and 10/31, we have a decorating party (just our family with snack food and spooky music) and we do a big fall cleaning and decorating. It’s the best way to get the kids excited about cleaning. You can’t decorate a messy room, so let’s wash those baseboards and vacuum the heck out of this place!

Then we take down the Halloween specific decor the first week of November, and start planning any Christmas decorations we need to make or buy. The full transition happens Thanksgiving weekend. We have a similar process for winter decorating except switching from TNBC to Frosty and Rudolph.

And you put it all on Facebook, right?

Who knows? Maybe she’s having fun watching all of these women get so worked up over something so trivial. Maybe you will show up in a blog somewhere

You’re probably right.

Is everyone on this thread just PMSing or do you really care that someone decorates for holidays early?

Get some real problems people.

We put up fall decorations (leaves, some basic pumpkins, stuff like that). It’s stuff that will stay up through thanksgiving with different things added for Halloween and thanksgiving.

My son has been begging to decorate for Halloween but I told him we should wait until October. I usually wait until after his birthday which is at the beginning of October.

Nope. Haven’t posted on Facebook since 2012, and even then I didn’t post inane crap like Halloween decorations. I answered a question on an anonymous message board, not sure why that equates to oversharing everything with my name and photos attached to it.

Halloween is a fall holiday. It’s not fall yet. I understand that people like to decorate early because they’re busy, but let’s try to keep seasonal holidays in their appropriate seasons.

Let's not be so condescending and sounding like we're delivering a lecture.
