Halloween story says that on night of October 31, Celts celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that ghosts of dead returned to earth. To beat the drum of this event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires where people gathered to burn animals and crops as sacrifices to Celtic deities. Sounds very horrific. But Halloween today is celebrated as a fun holiday. A holiday that provides opportunity to be someone else.
Halloween is a great time to have fun with kids, family and friends. Every year, people start planning months ahead for Halloween decoration, Halloween shopping, Halloween costumes and Halloween parties. Choosing a Halloween costume is always a daunting task as there are various options to choose from. But Halloween decorations can be even harder than that!
One can go for decorating home, office space, car, dorm room just about anywhere. You can find huge range of Halloween themed door bells, wall clocks, candle holders, door knockers and table displays at many online and in-stores. List for Halloween decoration items is long and endless! Some things can be bought from stores and some are handcrafts that can be made at home. Setting mood for Halloween has never been so fun!
Here are few ideas to help get started on decorating for Halloween:
Halloween Decoration for Living Room:
Decorate main rooms with Jack-o-lanterns made from anything such as pumpkins, apples, squashes and cucumbers etc. Hang them somewhere in room or place on tables, door and windows, stands and mantles. Use autumn leaves, green branches, and ears of corn, tomatoes, and apples and drape room with red and yellow scrim & cheese cloth. Have fire going in fireplace.
Halloween Decoration for Home Entrance:
Entrance way should be in total darkness except light coming from Jack-o-lanterns on tables or hangings on doors & ceilings. Entrance should be draped in black and spooky way. One can create spider web near entrance and decorate it with artificial spiders. Spooky candles can be placed at the door entrance for a dramatic look.
Halloween Decoration for Outdoors:
The lawn in front of house should be decorated with lighted Jack-o-lanterns each with different eyes, mouth, and nose. These lanterns should be as weird as possible. Drape black Jack-o'-lantern above front door and hang skull and crossbones in center over the door. Many spooky Halloween garden decor items are available at stores like Sears, Target, Halloween Mart and Wrapables.
Everything has changed in 100 years, but that essence of great Halloween decorating has remained almost same as in olden times... Have fun on Halloween nights dressed in Halloween costumes!!
