I don't do much except for a few cutouts in the windows, mostly for Morgan and the neighbourhood kids. We DO always get pumpkins and carve them. It's probably my fav. holiday and my kids have always been very creative carvers. I do have a cassette tape of scary music I sometimes put on, but we have so few trick-or-treaters it doesn't seem worth it.

Maryanne, make sure it's legal before you plant bittersweet! I would imagine it is illegal in some New England states. It was considered a BIG problem in CT, but I loved it. I made dream catchers using hoops made out of bittersweet. I also decorated with it...the berries are so pretty. Maybe I'll dig out my old photos and scan them in, of the last BIG Halloween decorate-the-house we did back in CT. It was a hoot! Ghosts coming out of the attic windows, the house itself looking haunted (it was)and run down with bricks missing from the chimney, etc.

Ah well, here I am cluttering up this thread!
