My only problem with Halloween is that it's only one day and then everyone stops with the skeletons and the spiders and stuff and their houses get boring again until Christmas.
Unless you have the giant skeleton from Home Depot and dress it for each following holiday.

There's actually someone who lives relatively near my mother with a giant skeleton in their yard that they put a Santa hat on in the winter. And big props to them. I drive to the town where my mom lives once or twice a month, so I see it fairly regularly.
Halloween and then Thanksgiving my friend.
Most people don't decorate their house for Thanksgiving.
Many people put up generic Fall decor, like pumpkins and scarecrows and hay bales, stuff like that.
You've never lived in a neighborhood with money. Leaves and turkeys are all over the place for thanksgiving
I actually live in a fairly affluent neighborhood (in one of the less affluent houses) and yeah, some people do decorate for Thanksgiving, but nothing even close to either Halloween or Christmas.
Decorating for thanksgiving is decorating for thanksgiving. So you have seen it.
Personally I just do a fall decoration thing after summer. Nothing much, but it feels like I'm in the neighborhood I guess.
I have seen it. I'm just saying far few people do it. If everyone switched from Halloween decorations to Thanksgiving decorations to Christmas decorations, that would be cool, but for most houses, even the affluent ones, it's usually a couple of weeks of Halloween decorations, then nothing until after Thanksgiving when the Christmas lights go up. (Unless you're talking about just a "Happy Thanksgiving" flag or something.)
I mean I get it. Decorating over and over again is a pain in the ass. But that's why I'd love it if people left up their Halloween stuff until they started decorating for Christmas.
