| There is actually more than this... |
Just after last Christmas, the wife and I had a discussion about decorating for holidays. In short, she prefers statement pieces, and I prefer LOTS of pieces. So we divided the holidays. I got Halloween to decorate however I wish, and she got Christmas.
We drew those lines mostly as a concession to her Russian heritage which celebrates New Years as we in most other western cultures would celebrate Christmas.
So Halloween I got and I went for something I've wanted to do for a long time: The Haunted Pumpkin Patch. I've got 19 fake pumpkins in all manner of shapes and colors and carved them each differently. Some scary, some benign, and some downright goofy. The picture above only shows 15 of the pumpkins I eventually carved.
Next year, I will add more to the decorations to complete the 'patch' of the so-called 'pumpkin patch'.
Now, like Christmas trees, I would of course prefer actual pumpkins, but since this is indoors and will be reused over and over again, I felt better about using fake pumpkins. I saved the real ones for outside decorations.
Anyway, hope you like them.
