When did fall decorating become popular? Have you Or your family always decorated for fall? Growing up I don’t really remember anyone decorating except for maybe some pumpkins, mums, hay, and corn shocks outside, nothing inside. I just thought about this and thought I’d ask others. 😊

I decorate for Christmas. That's it and then it's a tree. Nothing fancy, no displays, no wreaths, nothing but a tree. Around here in Arizona I have a few neighbors who have already put out some decorations for Halloween. Can't put a pumpkin out because it would shrivel in a couple of days. I've never decorated for anything but Christmas. Maybe I'm just lazy, or maybe I just don't want to store it all in the garage.

Only decorate for Christmas. Too much work to start decorating for fall and then for spring.

I've always decorated for every season and St Patrick's Day and 4th of July and Easter- ok you asked lol!

But sometimes lately I've missed a few.

Maybe if I lived in Arizona where there aren't as noticeable seasons I wouldn't.

I always feel sorry for people in Florida for example at Christmas time. My daughter lived there for a few years and the reindeer with the palm trees, just no😕

My family never decorated for any season except Christmas and I still don't see people doing a lot of seasonal decorating.  I think, thanks to Valerie, it's become a one-upmanship activity among QVC viewers with elaborate decor in every room of their homes for every season and holiday.  It sort of boggles the mind.

@YellowLabMom   Interesting question.....makes me wonder if those who experience seasons tend to decorate more as the seasons change.  Those on the west coast, perhaps not so much.

It probably does matter where you live. All my neighbors always decorated too. So if you live where seasons change especially beautiful fall etc, I think people decorate more.

Just what I've noticed. And I guess depends on neighborhoods too.

Sometimes people are just too tired to bother or too busy or it just isn't something they enjoy.

My mom had a specific space that she decorated for the seasons, spring/summer, fall, winter.  I decorate for the same seasons, I do not go overboard and do not decorate outside.

I guess it's a privilege to indulge in the aesthetics of the moment.

I do enjoy the seasons, and I do enjoy my decor as a reflection of that.  It doesn't have to be fancy.  A beautiful leaf, ironed between two sheets of wax paper, is pretty.

My family and I have enjoyed fall decorating for MANY years! I do not recall when it actually began, but I was watching a Valerie fall decorating show many sunsets ago, and have been hooked ever since. I recently visited family in the PNW, and we spent hours decorating indoors. It was a labor of love.😊
