Halloween decorating: Invented so I won’t make MPS drag out the 400 Christmas trees in October.

Apparently decorating for Halloween is a controversial topic here in Australia.

I say meh.

I love me any sort of ‘holiday’ decorating cause it involves my favourite things: shopping and kitschy shizzle.

And it warms me up for Christmas.  OMG SO EXCITING.

So I present you, my tens of readers, Halloween at the International House of Fonts.

As always, the most important thing in our celebrations is something to eat off (shutup shutup shutthehellup OMGSHUTYOURWHOREMOUTHSABOUTTHEFOOD) so I managed to find some suitably themed dinnerware.

OMG HOW FUCKING ADORABLE IS IT?

ADORABLE!

And then the totally superfluous side table thingy thats only purpose is to collect dust and display my love of holiday decor and disco balls…

Black roses, Princess Skull and a rose bowl full of eyeballs. Natch.

And this motherfucker that scared the beetlejuice out of Boo, and his friend who we are not allowed to activate until Halloween (you press his nose and a hand comes out… OMG SO AWESOME) cause it creeps Boo the fuck out, full of gross lolly things that no fucker will eat and I will end up throwing out. Whatevz.  Better for everyone that way probably.

And my favourite, this guy, who I give a wry nod to every time I pass him by…

Nevermore.

Obviously not as elaborate as our December shenanigans, but a nice little warm up doncha think?

Do you celebrate Halloween?

Is it sad that I am living vicariously through you? I love that you totally get into the season(s).

Life goals.

Haha we don’t celebrate Halloween. In all honesty I am a Halloween grinch (don’t hate me)! But I do really respect some good kitsch and some dressing up, for sure! I am saving mine for Christmas – watch out!

OMG I love the Jack pumpkins! Want!

You need to move to the States, because everybody decorates the shit out of their house for Halloween, at least here in California. We do a bit on the inside, but save the majority for the outside, because we like to be a fun house to trick or treat at.

I love watching you decorate – because if you do all that shit it means I don’t have to !!! I’m not a fan of halloween although we have a heap of kids in the neighbourhood who come around so I land up having a big dish of lollies and just hand them out. I don’t ask anyone to do anything – I don’t want to even open the door but I don’t want to know as the crazy lady at #6 !!!!! Maybe this year I can hide in my bedroom and pretend I’m not home – especially if Al is away !!! LOL
You are totally awesome for doing this while feeling like shit – I won’t even do it when I’m feeling great !!! LOL

Apparently the rule is that if you don’t have your outside light on they aren’t supposed to knock. We don’t get them in our street (Brisbane) but we buy goodies anyway. At the insistence of my daughter who LOVES LOVES LOVES Halloween. Which we then eat when no-one comes to get them. Win-win situation for all as far as I’m concerned.

Love your decorating. Always just a bit jealous, but without any of the inclination to follow suit. 😀
