I shopped at Hobby Lobby and Michaels for fall decorations. I found deals at both, but one had way more Halloween spirit.
Halloween is one of my family's favorite holidays to celebrate, but we also love having decorations up throughout autumn.
We're known to host spooky dinner parties and serve as the home base for our kids and their friends as they go trick-or-treating, so it's important to me to decorate our house with plenty of jack-o'-lanterns, skeletons, and witches.

As a journalist who covers theme parks and lives in Central Florida, I often joke that the spooky season is my Super Bowl.
