We have a few houses that turn their homes into haunted houses in our neighborhood. Creepy! But, to each their own. I'll save my decorating fun for Christmas.FrouFrouBritcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914368512077519755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-64983757097120601422010-10-29T09:31:43.026-04:002010-10-29T09:31:43.026-04:00I love it!

My parents weren't into Halloween, either, when I was growing up, so even putting out some jack-o-lanterns seems like a big deal to me.Julia @ Hooked on Houseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937060849774403002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-37720880740956417482010-10-29T06:32:15.275-04:002010-10-29T06:32:15.275-04:00It won't be long before your neighbor starts h...It won't be long before your neighbor starts his Christmas decorating.<br /><br />There's a trailer on the way to the beach that I love to see because they decorate their entire yard for every single holiday.

I understand why they are hanging them and their tradition but it still gives me the shivers at times to see them. <br /><br />It is amazing when your kids are gone, your attitude to how much you decorate kind of changes or you think in your head "maybe I won't do so much this holiday season". I always had fun decorating and seeing the kids all excited, maybe when we get grandkids that fun will return.Kim's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369919651139526840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-13753349191096999042010-10-28T10:25:39.835-04:002010-10-28T10:25:39.835-04:00Funny!

With that said, I LOVE when other people really do up their house for the holidays, any holiday! As a tradition, my family will hop in the car and drive around to all of our favorite houses during Halloween and Christmas. I'm grateful for those people for providing the memories and traditions I am making for my children! Happy Halloween :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-55298912054398889612010-10-28T09:31:30.562-04:002010-10-28T09:31:30.562-04:00I just love your posts.

We too have a very near by neighbor that likes to deck out their home with all kinds of seemingly randomly placed Halloween decor most that lights up! They go overbored too with unrelated, randomly placed Christmas light up yard items. Since Christmas was my first jaw drop experience with them I'll share a little of my first take which was 'what in the world is that.' My kids was more 'Look at that Mommy, why don't we have lights like that, why don't we have light up geese with stocking hats, why don't we have light up Charlie brown panels that are spotlighted, why don't we have lollipop peppermint lights, why, why, why???" I too have come to appreciate the 'big kid' side of our neighbors and their delighting the neighborhood kids while I can have what I enjoy simple wreaths and a few white lights at Christmas and fall flowers and pumpkins at Halloween.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808005028384769174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-47198716492390399732010-10-28T09:08:18.196-04:002010-10-28T09:08:18.196-04:00Great post!

And I'm sure your neighbor made great memories for his kids. :) Plus I feel like Halloween is the one holiday where you can be a little tacky. It's all in good fun. :)Carmen @ Life with Sprinkles on Tophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311495846073017864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-24032340942272094502010-10-28T08:52:05.062-04:002010-10-28T08:52:05.062-04:00Nice, I'll bet the girls love that. :-) Does h...Nice, I'll bet the girls love that. :-) Does he decorate like that for Christmas too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-59739940260836521722010-10-28T08:49:54.741-04:002010-10-28T08:49:54.741-04:00my girls would love this but Halloween decorating ...my girls would love this but Halloween decorating isn't my style either-especially if it's really spooky decorating! hey-i should post pictures of the lovely Halloween decoration we have at the house at the end of our street-my girls laugh every time we go by and i kind of cringe-a witch on a toilet-i'll remember this post next time we drive by :)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17896115614486157023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-72343020811794270302010-10-28T08:44:43.401-04:002010-10-28T08:44:43.401-04:00Christmas Vacation is one of my all time favorite ...Christmas Vacation is one of my all time favorite movies...that and Nightmare Before Christmas!!<br />Glad the Griswolds are alive and well!<br />Hugs<br />SueAnnSueannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299288406218968621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-74649639823551534072010-10-28T08:28:00.348-04:002010-10-28T08:28:00.348-04:00I love this post, Amanda.
