Right now, the most I do is put up a Christmas wreath in December. Sometime's I'll go all out and buy a fall or winter scented candle, haha. Until we buy a house and are the hosts for holiday get-togethers, I'm keeping the decor to a minimum. Cute plates.

I am the same. If I do anything at all it will only be because I will be hosting a holiday gathering. Last year I didn't put the tree up until I had my Ugly Sweater party a few nights before Christmas.

Being single, I've found that decorating for the holidays, especially Christmas, just reminds me that I'm alone. I've found I'm happiest when I don't decorate for any holiday.

Because it gives me an opportunity for Glitz, I decorate for Christmas. (Secular approach.) I put faux jack-o-lanterns on the porch for Halloween, but nothing inside. I have made a few seasonal wreaths of silk flowers that go up for spring, late spring, summer, fall, Christmas. That's it.

I go to Home Goods and always wonder who buys or uses all those Valentines', Thanksgiving, Christmas, St. Patricks Day, Easter, and other specialty sets of dishes and large decorations... I have a house and there would be no place to store all that stuff, and in an apartment, it would be crazy! But they sell it, so somebody must buy it!

I only decorate for Christmas, even though I'm not religious and don't celebreate Christmas for its true season of celebration. (I celebrate for cultural reasons.) The most I do is put up the tree, a centerpiece for the dining table, a couple of candles for the coffee table and a wreath on the door. When we throw Christmas parties, then obviously, I'll put up more decorations for the party only.

However, I did decorate slightly for Thanksgiving last year because we hosted dinner. It was really only a table setting: gourds and some small candles.

true reason*

Oh, and I'd like to put up simple Halloween decorations (like jack-o-lanterns) on my balcony, but I live in an apt. and no one will see it. Ha!

None. Too much work, and I'm not interested anyway. Christmas trees are messy and make me sneeze. If I'm having a party, I'll use seasonal flowers, but that is about it. I have some tiny pumpkins on my coffee table right now, but I bought them because they were cute, I'm not trying to do a Halloween thing.

I love decorating. Plus, it gives me an excuse to super clean my apartment every season. I am trying to work on more subtlety this year -- less work but still seasonal fun.

I don't decorate for any holidays :D

I was raised in a religion that had no holidays to decorate for. Since I left that church, I've been starting to celebrate most of the major holidays, but I can't imagine having boxes full of decorations for all of them! Not only could I not afford it, I can't imagine where I'd store them all. That said, my first Christmas, I decorated a big houseplant with tinsel and ornaments. Since then, every year my Christmas decor gets a little more elaborate, and I've started making my dining room kind of fancy at Thanksgiving; that's probably as much as I'll do this year, too.

Even if it's one string of white lights, I usually end up decorating after Thanksgiving for the December holidays.

I don't really bother with decorating unless I'm having a party. Too much hassle. The most I'll do is put up a simple straw wreath for Christmas, but even then, I don't do that too often.

I live alone and was so depressed the first Christmas morning I woke up by myself that I found decorating was the only thing that made me feel festive. It really does brighten my day to decorate for the holidays. I usually buy mini pumpkins for Halloween and some autumn-coloured flowers and for Christmas, I put up a wreath, create a centerpiece and decorate a large tree. I've done it every year since I've been alone and it makes me so happy to do it because it just doesn't feel like the holidays without decorations.

I don't bother with Easter though. Sorry, Jesus.

Christmas Only. Maybe a little bit for Hallowe'en but hardly. I did just buy a fat, black giant spider though. I love him with his beady little red eyes and he will be resting in my living room on my giant pink shell until Hallowe'en is over.,

Autumn is our favorite season, so we have an "autumnal splendor" box we unpack at the equinox; that stuff stays until Thanksgiving. We have a few vintage Halloween things (mostly black cat stuff, since we have three black cats) that goes up around October 1 and stay until Halloween. We do Christmas stuff (including the tree) the weekend after Thanksgiving' we generally take it down on Christmas Day or the next day (when we were in grad. school in Texas, we had a live tree (once!) that was ready to self-combust on Christmas day so it came down--we found the taking down of the decorations a great way to end the season and move on to all the work we needed to catch up on during break. It is a tradition we still follow 25 years later). We don't really do other seasonal stuff; just not interested.

It makes me sad that so many people don't decorate! I love holidays, especially Christmas (although I hope you're not picturing light-up snowmen or anything)-- and it was a big part of breaking away from our parents and establishing ourselves as a married couple to do our "own" Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. I think I'll finally feel like a bona fide adult when I have a neatly labeled and packed box for each holiday like my mother! I've got Christmas under control and am working on Halloween this year... for the rest of the holidays we usually just do flowers, coordinating dishes and lines, etc., if we're having a party, but I'd like to have some dedicated Thanksgiving things I suppose, although it's my least favorite holiday (not a fan of football OR turkey)!

Maybe it happens once you have children? Now that I have two, I'm decorating for most holidays, when I used to just put out Christmas decorations.

I only do Christmas/Winter decorations. The green and red items come down after New Years, but my snowflake hurricane candle holders and a few similar items stay out until March (or whenever it feels like the Winter is over). I like having one time of year that feels special, so I don't do any other holidays.

Autumn and Halloween: a couple gourds here and there, jack-o-lanterns, vintage die-cuts in the windows. Hang a small painting of fall trees.

Thanksgiving: vintage die-cuts: cornucopeias, pumpkin-head scarecrow in windows. Blue depression glass cornucopeia on sideboard.

Chanukah: display a few favorite vintage menorahs, plus an electric one in the window.

I love the thin, unfinished wooden decorations at craft stores. I paint them and hang them in my patio door. I have something up year-round. I just took down my flowers and put up a new wooden jack-o-lantern wreath and wooden skeleton. I have two new yet-unpainted Thanksgiving decorations to put up after that, then Christmas, then snowflakes, then Lent, then back to the flowers unless I find something for Easter by then. It's subtle, takes almost no space to hang or to store, and it's me.

Autumn - leaves & gourds. Also as the weather gets cool I bring out throws for the sofas, spicy scented candles.

Christmas - tree, wreaths, centerpiece, candles.

I change things around seasonally, but with exception of the Christmas, I don't decorate for specific holidays. However, I change my color scheme for Christmas every year; and I'm now up to five tubs of stuff. Thanks goodness my parents let me use their storage shed.

I love to decorate and this year, I'm definitely going to do Christmas big! I don't decorate for many of the other holiday's but my family does and I'm always spending time with them when a holiday rolls around. Lot's of traveling and just plain ole' family fun!

I live in an apartment so I can't do cute displays by my entryway or I'd definitely have jack-o-lanterns and such for fall. Right now we have a little fake tree for Christmas (it's under six feet tall and only a couple feet wide so it fits in the apartment nicely). I also like to do seasonally scented candles. I'd actually love to decorate more and probably will when I have a house and/or kids.

For Christmas I just put electric candles in the windows and put out a few miniature vintage Christmas trees. Outside I just put up a few big red bows with spotlights, around the chimney and a few of the trees. I love to decorate Christmas with scents though. Cocoa and mint scented candles and fresh-baked sugar cookies!

I would love to one day turn my house into a real life gingerbread house, but I don't have the energy or storage for all that.
Halloween is what I mostly decorate for because I just love that time of year with the mystical and the gore. Plus I have fake crows/ravens and skull decor hanging around year round.

I don't decorate for Easter or Thanksgiving.

I will add that I LOVE to decorate for the seasons. Living in FL with minimal season changes, it helps my internal clock to fake it. So I definitely rotate certain items each spring, summer, fall, and winter.

I hate hate HATE seasonal household items! Don't get me wrong, I like christmas trees and outdoor halloween decorations well enough, and I'll even bring in some pinecones to use as centerpieces in the fall, I just can't stand having multiple sets of serving ware (or whatever) to match with holidays.

Unfortunately every year I keep receiving holiday themed household items as gifts. I've been using Christmas pot holders year round since I refuse to store all this cr@p just to use them for a month out of the year.

I decorate for Christmas and Easter the most. Easter is actually my favorite holiday and I almost have as many decorations for Easter as I do for Christmas. I also decorate moderately for Valentine's Day and the 4th of July, and minimally for New Year's. (New Year's and Christmas are typically combined.) I don't always decorate for Halloween and am considering quitting it altogether. Being a single, childless male who lives in a studio apartment and who has friends/family members/acquaintances who have no desire to do anything, I really don't see the point.
