Do you decorate with pumpkins for Halloween?
Do you get real or fake pumpkins?



We are taking the girls to the pumpkin patch on this beautiful fall day. We love getting lots and lots of pumpkins to decorate with.

To answer my own question, we use both real and fake pumpkins for all our Halloween decorating. I use all fake pumpkins inside the house and we use mostly real outside of the house. The only fake pumpkins outside are large light up ones.


Poll coming!!!
 
My wife has quite a few pumpkins on the porch - they're all real and they'll all be carved a few days before Halloween. :thumbsup2
 
We get the really tiny 1$ real pumpkins from the grocery store, and we color them with sharpies. :goodvibes We also get 2-3 bigger ones to carve, and we also bake and eat the seeds. :) We put those on the front porch. :)
 
We usually only have a few real pumpkins outside. I don't like to put a lot outside because at some point, each October, many of the neighborhood pumpkins end up smashed in the streets by the local teenagers. I like decorating with scarecrows more.
 

Good Morning, Sandy! :wave:

We have been taking the kids to the pumpkin patch since they were babies. It's our family tradition. We let them pick out teir own pumpkin, and decorate it however they like. :)
 
We're pumpkin picking tomorrow actually. We always get some real ones and paint things on them (like cartoon characters). I think this year I'll do Winnie the Pooh characters for my DD.
 
Both. We have several fake ones inside (ceramic, candles holders, a couple that are cast iron). We also use real pumpkins and gourds outside along with scarecrows and mums.

I just pulled all of the fall and Halloween stuff out of closets and the attic yesterday, and updated the wreath on the front door. We'll probably get everything we need for outside sometime this weekend.

Now if the weather would just stay below 80 for a few days, I'd be happy! :)
 
I don't like decorating for the seasons. I never really have. My DH does decorate more for Halloween, but it really isn't my thing. I do put up a Christmas tree and my nativity scene at Christmas, but any other holiday I don't decorate for.
 
Real and fake. I have a black and lime green light up plastic jack-o-lantern. But I carve real pumpkins and have real pumpkins in my yard.
