PS: Get outta that Halloween candy!

I haven’t got any . . .

Thanks to this question, I have acquired Halloween Candy. 
 

It turns out I dislike Mounds® candy.

The dogs will devour anything I offer them, but I think they enjoy beef bones.

Do you decorate your home or office space for holidays?

When I had office space I usually did not. We did one year. It got old quickly. 
 

Never really bother at home. 
There are no pumpkins or halloweirdness sitting about.  I have yet to put away last years sad little Christmas Tree.

Home gets updates for the seasons and holidays.  Halloween spookies are currently front and center with other autumnal decorations.  More Thanksgiving related items to replace the spookies in 3 weeks or so.

 

Office Space...Nope!

Not a whole lot. We stopped at home after the kids reached a certain age/moved out, and my 'office' has always been such that decorating is a little problematic. 

 

That said, I did manage to get permission to decorate my workspace on board my last ship for Halloween while we were deployed. I think we had it decorated for maybe 10-12 hours, but it still counted,  and our Captain was pretty amazed at what we were able to come up with while out  in the middle of the ocean. 

 

I decorate a little bit at home for Halloween,  but never to the extant that I'd like. 

 

There are reasons for this. :devil:

Not usually these days.  We don't have visitors, we don't entertain, and it's a pain to find and set up everything each year.  And then take it down and store it.  I will probably put the fall wreath on the door because it is right here where it's been sitting since spring.  The christmas lights have been up a couple of years and if they still work, great. If not, too bad.  I have limited energy and can't be bothered for events that are essentially meaningless to us.

Not anymore. It became too much of a hassle to drag decorations out of storage, especially when we did it for a family Christmas and no one in the family bothered to comment on it. When no one seems to notice there isn't much reason to go to the effort. We still put out a few indoor decorations for each holiday.

 

They decorate at work, but that seems mostly done by the office workers, to my knowledge we production grunts aren't part of that committee. I guess we're too busy being worker elves and making the toys for all the folks?

For Christmas-Yes

For Easter - Yes

For Sinterklaas - not anymore

For Halloween- unfortunately not really a thing here, so I'll keep my Undead in my Hobby Room/Office.

We put up a few things for Halloween.  We'd go whole hog, but being on the end of an unlit, dead-end street means we're really just entertaining ourselves.  We get a xmas tree and wreath and put up some seasonal decorations for Christmas --> New year, but it's mostly to support our Pagan sensibilities.  Moss Flayer got inspired enough to put a permanent LED rope chain up on our soffits in the front of the house, so we can pick a lighting pattern to match the season or cause.  When I was growing up, my mom painted ceramics, so we had many collections of painted things that went up for all of the holidays.  That was fun.

Nope, apartment is too small to waste space on things that will only be out for a little bit and then spend most of their time in storage.  We rearrange things semi-regularly, but not centered around any specific calendar events. 

 

As for office space, such requires an office, so I suspect Transport Canada would have a few issues if I decorated the truck.  I suspect management would have issues too, once they eventually found out, but I'm a lot more worried about Commercial Enforcement than corporate, as Commercial has fines whereas corporate is all "please don't do that again". 

 

I have been tempted to print a black or orange Cali-Dragon to have in my work truck with me, but no idea how I'd safely secure such.  Wonder if I could figure out a way of printing a hat for the lil guy...  Nah, someone at work would definitely want that for their desk 😛

I usually put skulls with flashing eyes in the window on Hallowe'en to show that there's candy here, but that hasn't been done for a few years. Also, I think the batteries are dead now.
