My neighbors beat me to the punch this year with fall decorations, but now I have my pumpkin, mums, and autumn leaves flag up! Aaah, fall!

We've had some folks put out their fall decor in our neighborhood. I'm not quite feeling it, yet, it's still too warm outside.

I am going to be getting our Halloween candy soon while I can still get the big value bags. I have enough fall decorations so I won't be buying more of those. In fact, it's probably the time to cull some of the ones we already have now that our young adult kids aren't home on Halloween. I probably need to get those listed soon so that others will have time to enjoy them this season.

Still way too warm here.
Most (in my area) put theirs up around October 1st and leave them until Thanksgiving.

Ditto. These people have Christmas decorations up the day after Halloween. It is too early. Again JMO.

I'd rather see fall decorations put up a few weeks too early than seeing Halloween decorations kept up way past Halloween and into the holidays.. in one yard there will be the Star of Bethlehem and a Nativity scene, while next door the neighbor still has ghosts, goblins and gravestones littering their yard.

I usually wait til the first weekend of October to put mine out. Sometimes I’ll jump the gun and put them out the last week of September.

As someone else said, it’s way too hot here still to even think about Halloween and Fall. It’s 90 outside right now.

But I do love Halloween!!

I made my Honeywell thermostat in my living room purple for Halloween. I will put up the rest of the Halloween decorations and set the smart bulbs to orange and purple the last full weekend of September (September 23-24 this year).
