Decorating your home for fall and/or Halloween. Debate is it the same or different? Major problems here if we can debate this! lol. We have a few opinions. One is why are we decorating at all? We are putting that one aside.
Yes to fall decorating. Getting the fall candles out, the pillows and blankets. To adding those brown, rusts and orange colors to your home automatically warms it up. Fall decorating can start right after Labor Day! Few of us feel a tad too early could we not wait until at least third week of September. Fine. Whatever.
Debate came over Halloween Decorating - putting it out once October hits. Is it part of Fall decorating? A totally different theme? What? Fall decorating can be done with no Halloween in sight. Oh really what about pumpkins? Seriously? Are pumpkins just considered a Halloween thing or a fall thing?
What about all our pumpkin spice! That is not associated with Halloween. No, definitely not. Majority of us are not putting pumpkins in the Halloween category. Yes they can be part of Halloween but they are also part of Fall decorating period.
Friend has a beautiful collection of glass pumpkins she puts out in September until almost when her beautiful Christmas collection comes out. There is no Halloween in site and it doesn't even cross your mind when you are in her home.
So what do you think? Is Halloween decorating part of Fall decorating or it's own thing? Majority rules here so, we are going with it's own thing. If you love Halloween do it (yes you can use the pumpkins, black cats, ghosts the works!). Incorporate it into your Fall décor - why not?
It doesn't have to be an either/or. We are off to have pumpkin spice lattes and/or mulled cider. Whatever floats the boat.
