As the holiday season comes to a beginning, pumpkins and eerie eye-catching props get placed on display. Some traditional Halloween decorations are pumpkins, spider-webs, orange lights, ghost, spiders, bats and skeletons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We decorate for Halloween due to ancient beliefs that souls of the dead return home, decorating is to help ward off spirits. Whether it\u2019s our body or our homes that we decorate, we do it to ward off evil. Some popular Halloween decorations are the 5ft skeletons. Some people keep them up all year around and decorate them for every other just for the spooky holiday. Another popular item is anything skeleton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people don\u2019t decorate for Halloween and just decorate for fall with some orange lights and pumpkins. When interviewing Jonathan Sadler<\/strong> about how his family decorates yearly, he told me \u201cWell we have two sides of the house. One side is strictly for Halloween while the other side is for fall.\u201d Jonathan also told me his favorite Halloween decorations are animatronics even though he can\u2019t afford them. When interviewing former Lenape Tech student Kalob Cunningham <\/strong>about how his family decorates for Halloween yearly, he told me \u201cWe put spiders on the windows, in the bushes, and we place cobweb decorations everywhere. We place a few signs that say trick or treat on our front lawn. We have a skeleton, but we never really put it out for some reason\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n By Camryn Hetrick As the holiday season comes to a beginning, pumpkins and eerie eye-catching…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":756,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1967"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1967\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1968,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1967\/revisions\/1968"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Whether you decorate for Halloween or fall, or you don’t decorate at all, we all find decorations we like.
