Decorate or Not Decorate
This time of year we think a lot about decorations. Halloween in October, Thanksgiving in November, and Christmas in December. Other times of year there are New Year’s Day, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, the Fourth of July, and others that are not coming to mind right now. To decorate or not to decorate - that is the question. For most families, some decorations are usually displayed on all of these occasions. For others, no one ever puts up decorations. For some each holiday is an excuse to get out those special items that commemorate the day.
If you are the type of person who likes to decorate, you probably enjoy looking for those decorations all year - even when the season is not here. Who doesn’t enjoy driving around at Christmas and find a house that is so decorated that you can hardly see the house? The owner surely did not find all of those things during one trip to the mall! The seasonal decor changes from season to season or holiday to holiday. One way to enjoy a shopping trip when you did not really want to go, is to look for a seasonal item on sale. One way to enjoy a part of a day is to computer-shop for seasonal items. That is all for now. I just remembered some cute Pilgrim decorations that we put out every year. Now I think those are in the hall closet……..
Make Family Feel Welcome this Fall
You can tell a lot about a family by the way their home is decorated. It seems that no matter how busy they are, dedicated home owners are always working to make their residence more presentable to visitors. Not only that, but they get a personal sort of joy and gratification from sprucing up the place. Now that fall is undeniably here to stay for the next few months, there’s no better time to put up some seasonal decor.
Autumn is a time of harvest - an end to the life cycle of many edible plants. As such, pumpkins and corn are often the centerpieces of fall decoration. You might also see some scarecrows or a seasonal wreath complete with glorious, colorful leaves. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s a time to make family feel welcome from the second they enter your humble home.
