I don't have a lot of decorating money. I buy my wreaths at Kroger's grocery store, for goodness sakes. So, I eschew anything too Halloweenish looking and I go straight for non-descript pumpkins, haystack, angels in fall colors, etc. so I can set up that stuff in September and make it last until a week after Thanksgiving. taking down Halloween decorations to put up Thanksgiving stuff is for suckas!

But my kids are fans of the layered t-shirt look, so they'll wear the shirts for months. I bought next year’s halloween outfits today, because they were 50% off.

I was going to boycott the stores and not buy anything Christmas until after Thanksgiving. That lasted up until two days ago I bought a new wreath for my door. Ameen DahDah, I don't blame anyone but myself. I couldn’t believe it when I saw that the stores were putting out Christmas stuff the same time as the Halloween stuff.
