When I was growing up, not that many people decorated a lot outside, but still dressed up and went out to "frighten" the neighbors into giving us candy. ha ha.... or so we thought. Supposedly LONG before my time, if you didn't treat the goblins that came to your door, they might do some sort of trick on you.
We never did tricks on people and we weren't scary at all !
Some people really decorate a lot these days, in a way that they did not when I was young. It's pretty neat to see, but I've never been tempted to go that far. Christmas on the other hand, is a different story on decorations.
Thanks for stopping over !
