do you decorate seasonally?

i never have been one to do this but i really really LOVE halloween... and i'm thinking about decorating for it. the only bummer is i'm obsessed with these big, black LED trees Target had last year (that i never bought) and I can't find them, or anything similar anywhere. i'm so sad! (and clearly, a nerd.)

do you decorate for things other than Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/etc?

 

Re: do you decorate seasonally?

  • I only decorate for Christmas.  I used to decorate a little bit in the fall but ever since I started school I'm to busy to remember.  Just not a big priority.

    This year we are leaving for a 2 week vacay 3 days after Christmas.  I am seriously contemplating not decorating for that too, so much work.  But I know I probably will when the time comes...  Guess we'll see.

  • I do not decorate for anything other than Christmas, but more so because I'm lazy.  lol.  I have a few Halloween things that I love, but rarely put up.  Maybe with our new house up there, I'll want do decorate more?! 
  • Only Christmas, but that's more DH than me. If it was just me, I'd have  tree and some stockings, but that's about it. Generally speaking, I hate kitch and the idea of having a bunch of crap that stays in storage for 11 months of the year seems so unnecessary to me.
  • Only Halloween and Christmas.  It's only September 20 and I have 3/4 of my Halloween stuff out!
  • Normally I do decorate but haven't done much this year.  The only thing I have kept up on is the front door and putting out flowers.

     I have a ton of Easter/spring stuff but spent most of that season in bed or the bathroom was m/s.  I thought about bringing out my Halloween stuff a few weeks ago but figured it will be too much of a pain with the baby due right before Halloween.  My favorite is xmas and I already told DH he will need to help me with it more this year.  To me it won't seem like xmas if we don't put up the tree.

  • I did, but DH has put all the totes in the back of the storage room and in the last couple of years I've been too lazy to dig them out.  I have several Christmas totes, a Fall tote, a winter tote, a spring tote and a summer one.

    I started collecting things on clearance after each season.  I made myself go no bigger than one tote for each season and if I get tired of something and want something new, I donate an old item to Goodwill so there is room for the new item.

    Some of the things that I have are pieces that stay out all year and add seasonal decorations to them.  Some are all new things that come and go.

  • We do for fall and Christmas.  We LOVE fall, but I could take or leave spring and summer decor.  I'm not really a pastel-y type person so I don't tend to like the decorations for those seasons.  We do do flowers outside though for all seasons.

  • I have a few fall decorations. I love this time of year so I enjoy putting out my fall decor.

    I have a ton of Halloween stuff. It's one of my favorite holidays. Last year, I bought a small pre-lit black tree and decorated it with Halloween ornaments. It's fun to come home and plug it in.

    Decorating for holidays/seasons is a sickness I inherited from my mom :)

  • Just for the christmas holiday. I do have Halloween stuff, but I don't really make an effort with decorating for it anymore. I'm not a fan of Halloween anyway and really only do anything for it because of the kids. 

  • I put up a Halloween wreath this year. Otherwise I just decorate for Christmas.

  • We have lots of Christmas stuff but have never put it out.  I think that's because we wouldn't get around to taking it down before July.  (I was a sucker for after-Christmas clearance stuff a couple of years ago)

  • I love Halloween too! I usually decorate for Halloween, Fall, and Christmas. My little sisters loves it when I put up stuff, so I let them help me.
  • nope. Just Christmas, but this year we leave for mexico on Christmas Eve and come back on NYE, so I'm not even sure I'll do that.
  • I do just small bits for fall, because I like fall colors.  I love being able to have a real Christmas tree too.  I like doing more decorating in the fall/winter when I'm coccooned up in the house. 
  • I decorate for a few different Holidays!
