whomper Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Last night my family made our annual tradition of going to Clinton street in Hackensack to see the houses decorated for Halloween . I mention it by name in case any huddlers in the area want to check it out. It is a hugh block with houses completely decked out for halloween. The kids love it and the houses look great. :space: We go pretty basic. We decorate for Halloween and Christmas. We dont go overboard but we try and do it up pretty nice. On a scale of 1-10 1 being no decorations and 10 being Chevy chase in Christmas vacation id say we are in the 6-7 range. Halloween is hugh in my house. Inside we have a lot of things the kids made and we have pumpkins and a scarecrow outside with stuff hanging in the trees etc. How nuts do you go with the holiday decorating of your homes ?

darin3 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Mrs. d3 loves Halloween and Christmas, so we're usually pretty decked out on the inside. Outside, for Halloween, it's pretty simple. A "Happy Halloween" tin sign on a post on our porch and we'll likely carve up a pumpkin and put it out on the porch. For Christmas, we'll just put up a simple string or two of lights along the eave.

Kid Cid Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Ms Cid has interior decorations for every holiday/season/whim there is. Frankly it drives me insane. I'll carve a pumpkin for Halloween but that's about the extent of it, she does all the rest. If it were up to me, I would never decorate the house for Christmas. Freezing my ass off, hanging from the friggin roof, sticking lights everywhere just so you can waste the electricity to make them glow is beyond stupidity in my book. And I have to do it every fraking year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm constantly hauling all the interior decorations down from the attic and back up. She also insists on a real tree which I hate due to the fire hazard. Last year I bought a nice fake tree to try to convince her they are a safe alternative. You guessed it, fake tree decorated upstairs and a real one down We don't do much of anything outdoors for the other holidays now that the kids are grown up.
