Halloween Decorations

[K Ma]

Do you deck out for Halloween? What kind of decorations do you use?
I only ask because I was cruising the sale items on potterybarn.com and nothing says "elegant, but spooky" like a glittered skull. lol

And please tell me that you can see the picture (Butty)!!!!

A red "x"...dang!
LOL
Just joking.
I used to decorate for Halloween, but my stuff got all smashed up. We get a lot of teenagers around here. Amber and I trick-or-treat by her school which is in another city.

I dunno K-ma, I find the glitter skulls a little too ostentatious. We much prefer our more pedestrian sequinned skulls at Halloween.......:rofl::rofl::bat:

Ah - you had me for a second with the red x! :boink:
Why on earth did you let those teenagers in your house for? lol
My Mom always took me in town to tick or treat (which was looked down on for some reason). One year she told me to grab a jacket and I grabbed my school jacket. :doh: She was like, "ok, I hope you dont get cold..." lol

Well, then these place setting cards for a formal dinner party would be out of the question:

Candy skulls are a big deal in Mexico for Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).

We always had a big party in spanish calss in high school for Day of the Dead. I cant remember what it is called, but there was some kind of sweet bread that had something in it - and if you got it you won a prize.....I have the right holiday right?

Nope - I dont. I was thinking of Three Kings’ Day (Dίa de los Santos Reyes), where a small doll is baked inside of the bread and whoever receives the piece with the doll must host a party on February 2, Candlemas Day.

The bread during Day of the Dead is Pan de muerto - which is a sphere shape with crossed pieces of bread to look like a skull.

Both are equally yummy though - that I do remember!

I used to completely deck out the house for Halloween...... now since I run a small childcare center out of my home it is out of the question. I am guessing that walking by skeletons, bloody corpses and monsters on the way in everyday might have a adverse effect on the tiny tots ... hehehehhe
