For 17 years I didn't decorate at all for Halloween or Christmas (except for putting up the tree every 3rd year when we hosted the family) because our house was not visible from any road or walkway. But we've moved into a village. I got one of those projection lights and it was really pretty as it washed over our house at Christmas. It does have a Halloween setting and I'm thinking of using it this year. Went from no kids--not even the neighbour's two boys--for 17 years, to about 40 last year.
