Yeah...inside the house....A jackelope....a jack rabbit head with small deer antlers on it given to me by my sister I'm not one for dead things on the wall, but it does crack everyone up who sees it....Now folks reallly get scared when the 6 foot iguana (they thought was stuffed on the mantle) decides to start running around.

Only businesses put up decorations before that. $$$

I remember those plastic decorations
being sold as fundraisers at our school. I think it was the Band Boosters. I'm in East Central Indiana, BTW.

Christmas Tree & Decorations

We always try to have the tree lit up and the decorations out on display by Thanksgiving day. I think having a fake tree makes that possible.

Do you set a deadline to have the tree up and decorated by Thanksgiving week? If not, when do you try to have it finished?

Christmas lights and decorations up after New Year's!
We always take ours down New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. Our neighbors still have theirs out (lawn decorations and everything) and up until just a week ago they were still turning them on at night! Ugh! It also bugs me when people leave the Christmas lights on their houses year-round. I love the holidays and I love having my Christmas stuff out, but when the holidays are over, so are my decorations!

Your decorations sound great. He has no business telling...
you how to live or how to decorate. Comparing Halloween decorations to the Amish shootings is more bizarre than your decorations could be. I would definitely not take it down. Just because he does not celebrate Halloween is no reason to ruin yours.

Installing pot lots over the mantle and just changing the decorations out can do

I found them! Those funky 1970s plastic decorations

It was driving me absolutely nuts and I finally found out what they are called! Google or do a search on E-Bay for 'Melted plastic popcorn decorations' and see what you find! I'm gonna try and make a bid for one or two because after seeing that one in 'MT of Oz' picture there, I suddenly felt this NEED to have one again!

Thanks for reviving happy memories MT of Oz!!
