    We don't get a whole lot of Trick-or-Treaters but I try to do some decorating anyway. This is what will meet any kids that come to our door this year.

    There are very few children in our village that are either young enough or old enough to enjoy Halloween. As mine have all grown up and left home I no longer bother. :( I do love to see others decorations though. I think I'd get quite a shock meeting that chap of yours as I came up your steps. :eek:

    I don't decorate because our driveway is too long and no one bothers to come up. We have never had any trick-or-treaters in the 6 years we have lived here.
    Your decorations look good Petunia...that guy sure would scare ME!

    Our drive is about 1/4 mile long and we have not had any kids back here in the 28 years we have been here. We did have a young raccoon at the front door one year on beggars night. Does that count? He had his mask on!

    I decorate for fall, but not Halloween. Never had any trick or treaters! But I don't turn my light on either. :-| And never buy candy!

    I like the scary guy on the steps, I wouldn't want to meet him in the dark tho. :eek:

    I have a few decorations inside the house and black candles everywhere but just never wanted to put a lot of things outside, might get stolen :rolleyes:

    Oooh! Scary! I don't decorate. I go out to dinner on Halloween night. I am a Halloween scrooge... But! I do have fun with it at school -- and I have a big fake spider in my room at school named Charlotte-Gretchen. She lives there all year round and she LOVES Halloween.

    Lovely decorations. :D We don't decorate since we're in Norway and Halloween is sort of semi-celebrated here. We do however have a couple of pumpkins outside this year, because we grew them ourselves, and what else should we do with them?

    :D
