Halloween Decorations

As soon as that first waft of autumn air hits, it happens. The annual fall ritual of Halloween and autumn decorating begins. Brightly colored pumpkins, dried corn stalks, hay bales, scarecrows and autumn leaves adorn porches, doorways and yards throughout communities. The scarier and more frightening look of Halloween decor comes along with the fall months as well; adding it’s own unique touch of spooky flair to the autumn vibe. It’s an annual autumnal tradition that most of us enjoy every year; we do it without really thinking much about it. Have you ever wondered where the idea for all this Halloween seasonal decor came from? In order to get to the root of Halloween decorating as well as the popular Halloween symbols that go along with it, you have to look back into history a few thousand years.
