How to Decorate for Halloween without Even Trying!

Step One: Live in a really white trash house
Step Two: Leave a storm door closed for a few years and then open it to reveal a picturesque pattern of spider webs.


Step Three: Let the spiders happily thrive on your porch.



Step Four: Let birds fly into your window weekly and when they lay dead in front of it, just leave them there.  You may be lucky and find them decapitated, or skeletonized a few days later.  This adds to the frightening effect.  


Step Six:  Leave all spiderwebs from the entire year in the ceiling corners.



Step Seven: Sit back and enjoy the decor.

  6. That's right. Leave it to Jenny to be "more authentic than thou." Love the dead stuff around your house, Jenny!
    I wish there were a holiday that had the theme of dirty fingerprints on the walls. We are ready!
