My neighbor took this pic from his kiddos second story window across the street. This is, imho, the most wonderful time of the year. I hope the snow holds off until after 11/1. 🎃💀

Sorry about my recycling bins out front

MontanaMama
(24,751 posts)Skelly comes apart and fits in a HUGE box. I have thrifted most of my stuff over the years but when I got the opportunity to get that guy brand new I was all over it. 💀💀💀

(12,125 posts)My yard would look like yours if I had the storage. Here's my DIY Halloween fence, I got new solar string lights this year. 🕸🕷🎃

MontanaMama
(24,751 posts)Solar Halloween lights? I must learn more. 🎃
Niagara
(12,125 posts)Big Lots. They were way over priced for the amount of lights (50 lights each string). I had problems with one of these strands not charging and I moved my entire Halloween display and the problem seemed to work itself out.
I went to put them out this year and again I had the same problem with the same strand.
At the end of September, I purchased these solar lights off Amazon for at the time was $17.99

These are not like regular lights at all, very thin, small storage box, and don't take up much room. I haven't had any issues with these lights working at all, but they do get tangled easily. I've been waiting for the price to drop but it doesn't look like that's going to happen soon. It's still a much better buy compared to Big Lots. I'll have to look around on other Amazon stores to see if there's anything similar.

(18,888 posts)The Christmas outside decorations take up most of the attic crawl space storage area. I can just squeeze the Halloween decorations up there. Ive seen some Id love to get but I refuse to rent a storage unit.

Remember not to take down your decorations until after Halloween lest Sam from Trick 'r Treat will get you

MontanaMama
(24,751 posts)He kinda freaks me out and I bought him!
I take all my decorations down on November 1st. I wait for the neighborhood kids to go to school and then I pack the whole thing up before they get home. Its part of the magic! Its like it was all a dream.
