What if I don't decorate my house for the holidays? - Time consuming process for a temporary period of time.

[Alex Hogendorp]

During the holiday season, people take the time consuming process to decorate the house only to take it down at the end of the holiday whilst having to maintain them through strong winds that could easily knock them down or animals that could ransack the decorations (or stolen by a savage nigger or jew). This can cause a lot of stress. The solution to this is to secure the decorations which can be even more time consuming. I usually string them on the fence or put wooden planks on the ground to prevent them from falling over. But sometimes a bad wind storm would knock them over anyways. I notably stopped buying inflatable decorations just to cut the hassle as those break easily. Notably many people have kept their decorations as late as April due to the brutal cold weather (or being too lazy). I often wonder if it's worth it for the pretty display alone only for something like this to happen.

LOL plebe, get on our level.

We have a stone gargoyle that stands over the front of our house, scaring the locals (read: niggers) year round. We told our neighbors that Spot (that's his name, ofc) comes alive at night and look out! I think they halfway believe us lmao.

Sometimes we put a Santa hat on him for Christmas.

Meh, you do you. Youre a bit of a stooge for the corpos if you buy as much crap as this guy has.
But it adds a sense of community when people get together and do stuff or even participate indirectly through decorations and thats nice.
I'd appreciate you MORE if you decorated. But Im cool if you dont. I personally dont do much. Especially for faux stuff like halloween.

I wish I could decorate more. Not allowed to put anything outside where I currently live. I don't have a lot of money, and my cats always eat/tear things down like decorations and trees, but it's nice. I've found a lot of peace in the last couple of years respecting my home and my possessions, so I just find it enjoyable. For example I have a wooden statue of Mary and I made her a halloween costume.

There's a house I've passed occasionally that's had those giant fucking plastic halloween skeletons out in the yard year round for the last 4 years or so if they're still up. I wish I could do shit like that but no instead my family just keeps the fucking undecorated mini christmas tree from the 2000s out in the corner of the TV room since like 2016 and frames me trying to do holiday shit as "taking over the house" What kind of sick half existence it must be to be unable to have funny skeletons all over like it's the mcdunals wor of 2014-15

I'd just rather not decorate. But my family thinks otherwise.

Surprisingly people seem to mostly leave decorations alone around here. But you do get stuff stolen or destroyed sometimes. People suck.

 

[Whatevermancer]

I live alone and I can't be bothered to decorate, so I don't.

Right, that's the spookiest option possible.

If someone puts out decorations, that's a sign of life. It means they want to participate in your community activities. They probably can be reasoned with.

If the guy/girl who lives all by themselves and who barely anyone sees never does anything, that makes people wonder.
That person's an unknown quantity, they could be doing just about anything in the lonely silence of their own home. They could even BE anything. What's wrong with them? What are they planning? Do they not decorate because they can't be bothered, or are they occupied with more sinister business?

Furthermore, isn't ennui what's really frightening? Just doing the same thing you've always done, over and over again?

Point is, not putting out Halloween decorations is the scariest Halloween decoration. Only put them out if you don't want to scare your neighbors too much.

I like putting up little window decorations, but I live in a second floor apartment and no one can see them.

You should kill yourself before the coal buries your body anyway.

Yeah, gone are the way people overdecorate like Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation.

you should see the gated neighborhoods when theres a christmas lights competition. people across the county flocking to one street to see the music synchronised light show with inflatables visible from blocks away. the spirit is still very much alive, but i agree that there has been a noticable damper on it for most ppl

 

[Grub]

I don't even own any decorations. Though I might put some lights up this year just because my 7th day Adventist neighbour finds them offensive because paganism or some shit.

Oh, I wasn't talking about Halloween, who gives a shit about it? I was talking about Christmas and New Year.

The Chad leaves up Christmas lights all year.

I kept the roof lights up all year because of how painfully hard it is to take it down, especially in the snow. I already hated taking down my Halloween Decorations due to tangled wires and strings and carrying animatronics to the garage or shed. I stopped buying inflatable ones due to how much they blow away or break. And because most Decorations are made in China. They don't last very long.
