#trick-or-treat

At least a dozen times during the month of September, my husband and I are stopped by neighbors asking the following question: "When are you putting up the Halloween decorations?" We've lived in our suburban home in a college town since 2009, and although we started with just one Halloween inflatable decoration (a pumpkin Pac-Man and three ghosts, all still going strong), we've been amassing more and more decorations every year, until finally we became what neighbors have nicknamed the "Halloween House."
