Ok, well, I survived Halloween, so now it’s time to start thinking about fixing the place up for Thanksgiving.  I am on a pretty tight budget this year, but luckily, one of the best things about Halloween decorations is that some can easily be transitioned into Thanksgiving decorations so that  outdoor decor stays looking relevant.

For example, pumpkins that didn’t get transformed into Jack O’Lanterns can easily be used as the centerpiece of a display of gourds and pine cones.  Orange tree lights from Halloween can hang out for a few more weeks before being swapped for Christmas lights, and so can scarecrows.
