Can your landlord prohibit Halloween Decorations? My neighbor, who rents her house, put up a few Halloween decorations last week. She put a wreath on her door and a couple of those lightup pumpkins on the porch. She got a call from the landlord a couple of days later telling her to put the decorations away (I guess she had driven by) because the landlord doesn't celebrate Halloween because it is a pagen festival and she didn't want anyone from her church who sees the house to think she is condoning the celebration of the holiday. I told my neighbor that I don't think she could forbid her from decorating, but I wasn't sure. Does anyone know if your landlord can prevent you from decorating for the holdays?

wreath decorations for sale? I am planning on making a few Halloween wreaths for myself and my friends. I enjoy making things. I was thinking since the holidays are coming around i could use a few extra dollars. Do you think It is worth it if I make a few and put them up for sale on ebay? Also can I put them up on Amazon? And last but not least how much should i sell them for? once i buy everything i need im thinking it will be about 10-15 dollars a wreath...And if you have any ideas please let me know! Thanks :)

What should I put on my feet for my Dryad/Wood Nymph Halloween costume? Every other part of my costume is planned already, I just have no idea what to do for shoes. I have a top, skirt, head wreath, wings, and other accessories with fake leaves, twigs, berries, and other flora. The colors I used are green, dark brown, yellowm maroon, red, orange, and yellow. What are idea for what I could do for shoes?

What are those shiny metallic foil strings that have hearts or halloween or shamrocks for holiday decorations? You can wind them around things, or make wreaths out of them. They're for decoration for whatever you're celebrating. You can get them at Dollar Stores, etc. I need to know the name. Yes, a garland, but don't they have a commercial name? Or, a brand name that is associated with with the garland? For example, Exxon is associated with gasoline...am I making sense?

Halloween crafts for a 11 month old? On Halloween, my daugher will be one day away from being 11 months old. This is will be her first Halloween, and I already have her costume! She is going to be a pink and purple butterfly. I need some ideas on what activities or crafts I could do with an older infant. For example, on Thanksgiving, I am going to do the turkey thing where you use their handprints as the turkey wings. And during Christmas I am making a hand-wreath. But I am coming up blank for a Halloween idea. Anything you have, or are going to do, with your little one for Halloween would be greatly appreciated.

How should I make a greek goddess Halloween costume? I want to be a greek goddess for Halloween, and I want to make my own costume. I don't want a costume design that looks like some stripper threw up on me either. I just want a respectable costume that I can wear to go trick-or-treating. I've been searching the internet for about an hour and can't find any really good costume ideas. I want the whole shebang too. Laurel wreath, maybe some makeup, hairstyle, sandals, everything. Whoever can give me the best answer wins 10 points! Again, I want to MAKE MY OWN COSTUME! I need directions, and pictures of those directions. I don't want you to just show me pictures and expect me to konw how to make it.

Is it too early early to decorate Christmas even a little? I'm just running a million miles a minute. In September I wanted it to Halloween in October I wanted it to be Thanksgiving and now I want it too be Christmas. The Christmas commercials are already up, I'm down and Christmas makes me happy for some reason. I'm not saying buy a Christmas tree but do you think I can take a few decorations out such as wreaths and stuff? If you think not what can I do to make it feel more like Thanksgiving already?

I bought my fall decorations, when do I put them out? When I got them home, I realized that they look Thanksgiving-y. Essentially, it's just the colorful leaves, candles, and fall plants (fake, but nice), and a couple of wreaths (one with fall leaves, the other with berries, etc). My question, is it too early to set these out now or should I wait until after Halloween?

Decorating Front Gate for Halloween? Happy Halloween :) Anyone have any creative and/or different ideas for decorating our big front gate this year? Last year we put bales of straw out on either side of it with pumpkins. As for the actual gate, just the usual wreaths. Blah.....Anyway, I was wanting to do something different but can't think of what. I'll still put out the bales of straw with the pumpkins, but what can I put on our big gate? It's the kind that automatically opens up....looks like one big gate, but splits as it opens out. It is white wrought-iron. Thanks!!!!

How hypocritical and ignorant is it of Christians to label halloween evil? ? Before you get angry ignorant does not mean stupid it means someone does not know better. everyone is ignorant about something. the smartest person in the world is ignorant about certain things. Halloween is really about giving thanks for the harvest and praying for a mild winter I know they are not thinking when they do it but isn't it equally offensive to pagans as it is to a Christians when Christmas is written as X-mas, yule, or made light of 'taking Christ out of Christmas' as they say? also how do christians get to insert their own beliefs in others practices. for instance in the pagan religons there is no devil or satan to begin with. that is purely a Christain incarnation. and yet its perfectly ok for christians to claim halloween is about devil worship? its a pagan tradition they claim but so are Christmas, christmas trees, wreaths, and easter but somehow those pagan holidays are ok what does it say about people who speak out against things they know so little about? should they take a look at themselves first before casting the stones at others? shouldn't they learn more about the origins of their own religon as well? i'm looking for intelligent thought out debate not blind insults. I'm trying to belittle anyones beliefs just looking to help us all understand each other. sorry for assuming the SOME was a given. if you dont label halloween as evil good for you. was just trying to share information Christians are the only ones who have a devil to belive in. NONE of the pagans NONE of the wiccans, ect worship the devil. they dont belive it exisits the ONLY people who associate anything with the devil are Christians. maybe not all christians do it but the ones who do are the ones i was asking about people! it is not celebrating evil!! thats my whole point. people talking negative about something they know very little about is down right sinful!

Has your town/city already decked their halls for Christmas? Mine has. They have put up all the wreaths and lights downtown and had them all going the day after Halloween. I personally think it's way too early. The day after Thanksgiving should be the earliest. How about where you live?

Is there any symbolism for pagans? is there any symbolism with black wreaths with pink lights for the pagans during halloween? does this mean anything? do the colors change in time?

Is it Too Early for Fall Decorations? I live in the south (US) so its still pretty green and warm here. I am originally from the North so I'm used to getting my fall decorations out around this time. With the change in climates, I don't want to look silly jumping the gun, but at the same time I'm pretty anxious for the change in decor. When is the most appropriate time to put out fall decorations (not Halloween/Thanksgiving... just fall flowers, wreaths, pumpkins, etc)

Jehovah's Witnesses, why O why......? Jehovah's Witnesses believe it wrong to put an autumn wreath or winter wreath on your door (not Halloween or Christmas mind you) because it has pagan beginnings which I'm sure it does but they wear wedding bands which also have pagan symbolism? A Jehovah's Witness I was studying the Bible w/ was so upset w/ me when she saw that I put a snowman wreath on my door but she wore a wedding band. The origin of the ring seems to be even worse than the wreath because not only is it pagan but it symbolizes magic, a big no no in the Jehovah's Witness faith. my question is not so much about the wreaths, but the ring. Maybe they don't realize that it's pagan.

Which Greek Goddess would this most be like? I bought a Greek Goddess costume for Halloween, and I don't want to tell people I'm a Greek Goddess, I want to provide a name of one of the goddesses. This is the costume: http://www.costumebox.com.au/images/P/Greek%20Goddess%20Adults%20Costume.detail.jpg I also made a wreath headband to go with it, and I have long dangly earrings and 50 dangle bracelets. My hair is going to be brown and curled. Is there a Goddess that looks like that? Or close to it?

I need some Christmas decorating ideas? I want to jazz up the house for my 3 year old. I want to make Christmas a lot of fun for her (kind of dropped the ball on Halloween this year) so I want to decorate. But I'm at a loss on where to start. We will have a nice tree, stockings, maybe a couple of wreaths...but what else can I do? Not talking about tacky lawn ornaments...just some things that still makes the inside of the house look good. Suggestions please? If you have links that'd be great too....

Do You Know The Truth About Christmas? Christmas Untold Truth The Satanist believes that numbers contain inherent power which is why they literally order their lives by occult numerology. Such numerology also is a key component in astrology, another system of divining that Satanists observe very closely. The occult calendar is divided into four (4) segments of 13 weeks each. The number, "13" is considered divine by the occultist. SPECIFIC DATES WITHIN THE OCCULT CALENDAR 1. Winter Solstice - 13 weeks a. December 21-22 - (Yule) - When the sun begins its northward trek in the sky, and days began to grow longer again, pagans celebrated the Winter Solstice by burning the Yule log. Since the sun had reversed itself and was now rising in the sky, pagans believed this was a sign that the human sacrifices carried out in Samhain (Halloween) had been accepted by the gods. Which is why people continue to sing: "Deck the halls with boughs of holly ... troll the ancient Yuletide carol ... See the blazing Yule before us. Fa la la la la la la la." Song represent Pagan Traditions of the Holidays. The Roman Catholic Church later changed the day of celebration to December 25, calling it Christmas. Consider the pagan roots of the popular symbols of Christmas: 1. Christmas Tree - The sacred tree of the winter-god; Druids believed the spirit of their gods resided in the tree. Most ancient pagans knew the tree represented Nimrod reincarnated into Tammuz! Pagans also looked upon the tree as a phallic symbol. 2. Star - Pentalpha, the five-pointed star. The pentalpha is a powerful symbol of Satan, second only to the hexagram. The star is the sacred symbol of Nimrod, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Yahshuah. 3. Candles represent the sun-gods' newly-born fire. Pagans the world over love and use candles in their rituals and ceremonies. Certain colors are also thought to represent specific powers. The extensive use of candles is usually a very good indication that the service is pagan, no matter what the outward trappings might be. 4. Mistletoe is the sacred plant of the Druids, symbolizing pagan blessings of fertility; thus, kissing under the mistletoe is the first step in the reproductive cycle! Witches also use the white berries in potions. 5. Wreaths are circular, and so they represent the female sexual organs. Wreaths are associated with fertility and the "circle of life". 6. Santa Claus - "Santa" is an anagram for "Satan". In the New Age, the god, "Sanat Kamura", is most definitely an anagram for "Satan". The mythical attributes and powers ascribed to Santa are eerily close to those possessed by Jesus Christ aka Yahshuah. 7. Reindeer are horned animals representing the "horned-god" or the "stag-god" of pagan religion! Santa's traditional number of reindeer in his team is eight (8); in Satanic gematria, eight is the number of "new beginnings", or the cycle of reincarnation. The Illuminati views the number "eight" as a symbol of their New World Order. 8. Elves are imp-like creatures who are Santa's (Satan's) little helpers. They represent also demons. 9. Green and Red are the traditional colors of the season, as they are the traditional pagan colors of winter. Green is Satan's favorite color, so it is appropriate it should be one of the traditional colors for Christmas; red is the color of human blood, Satan's highest form of sacrifice - for this reason, Communism adopted red as it main color! 10. December 25 is known as the "nativity" of the sun. This date is the birthday of Tammuz, the son, the reincarnation of the sun god. Traditionally, December 21 is known as Yule. The Roman Catholic Church moved the celebration of Yule to December 25. 11. December 25 is also known to the Romans as "Saturnalia", a time of deliberate debauchery. Drinking through repeated toasting known as 'wassail', was a key to the debauchery of this celebration. Fornication was symbolized by the mistletoe, and the entire event was finished with a Great Feast, known as the Christmas Dinner. 12. Even the name, "Christmas" is pagan! "Christi" meant "Christ", while "Mas" meant Mass. Since all pagan Masses are commemorating "death", the name, "Christmas" literally means the "death of Christ". A deeper meaning lies in the mention of "Christ" without specifying Jesus. Thus, Antichrist is in view here; the pagans celebrate "Christmas" as a celebration of their coming Antichrist, who they say will deal a death blow to the Jesus Christ of Christianity.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Holidays? Since the holidays are coming up, I thought I would make a topic regarding Jehovah's Witnesses and holidays. Why don't we celebrate holidays? Why do you think we don't celebrate holidays? Well, here are some of the reasons why we don't, but I'd also like to get your responses to the previous questions. Christmas. The New Catholic Encyclopedia acknowledges: “The date of Christ’s birth is not known. The Gospels indicate neither the day nor the month . . . According to the hypothesis suggested by H. Usener . . . and accepted by most scholars today, the birth of Christ was assigned the date of the winter solstice (December 25 in the Julian calendar, January 6 in the Egyptian), because on this day, as the sun began its return to northern skies, the pagan devotees of Mithra celebrated the dies natalis Solis Invicti (birthday of the invincible sun). On Dec. 25, 274, Aurelian had proclaimed the sun-god principal patron of the empire and dedicated a temple to him in the Campus Martius. Christmas originated at a time when the cult of the sun was particularly strong at Rome.”—(1967), Vol. III, p. 656. Birthdays. Among heathens, according to Horst Fuhrmann, professor of medieval history at the University of Regensburg, “the birthday celebration was in honor of one’s guardian angel or god, whose altar was decorated with flowers and wreaths; sacrifices were offered to the god of festival, friends offered congratulations and brought gifts.” Professor Fuhrmann continues in the German newspaper Süddeutschen Zeitung: “Great prominence was given the birthday parties held for the emperor, replete with parades, public banquets, circus plays, and the hunting of animals: spectacles disgusting to the Christians.” Thus, says Fuhrmann, Christians “refused to celebrate the birthday.” Easter. “There is no indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the New Testament,” states The Encyclopædia Britannica. How did Easter get started? It is rooted in pagan worship. While this holiday is supposed to commemorate Jesus’ resurrection, the customs associated with the Easter season are not Christian. For instance, concerning the popular “Easter bunny,” The Catholic Encyclopedia says: “The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility.” New Year’s Celebrations. The date and customs associated with New Year’s celebrations vary from one country to another. Regarding the origin of this celebration, The World Book Encyclopedia states: “The Roman ruler Julius Caesar established January 1 as New Year’s Day in 46 B.C. The Romans dedicated this day to Janus, the god of gates, doors, and beginnings. The month of January was named after Janus, who had two faces—one looking forward and the other looking backward.” So New Year’s celebrations are founded on pagan traditions. Halloween. The Encyclopedia Americana says: “Elements of the customs connected with Halloween can be traced to a Druid [ancient Celtic priesthood] ceremony in pre-Christian times. The Celts had festivals for two major gods—a sun god and a god of the dead . . . , whose festival was held on November 1, the beginning of the Celtic New Year. The festival of the dead was gradually incorporated into Christian ritual.” Other Holidays. It is not possible to discuss all the observances held throughout the world. However, holidays that exalt humans or human organizations are not acceptable to Jehovah. (Jeremiah 17:5-7; Acts 10:25, 26) Keep in mind, too, that the origin of religious celebrations has a bearing on whether they please God or not. (Isaiah 52:11; Revelation 18:4) The Bible principles mentioned in Chapter 16 of this book will help you to determine how God views participation in holidays of a secular nature. DRAAGON: It's not about what is or isn't permitted, but what is offensive to Jehovah God and what these holidays really mean. As for your question regarding if we are "allowed" to have fun or not: Of course we have fun! We do plenty of things that are enjoyable; listen to music, play games, engage in different sports, etc. So, don't think that Jehovah's Witnesses don't have any fun, but we're not going to compromise our beliefs to do something that's "fun" to the world's standards. There are more than enough ways to enjoy yourself without doing something offensive to God.

Is society too sensitive? As I read these questions regarding this whole Santa issue in Australia and then read the answers it appears that most people are sick and tired of the whole being politically correct issue. So I have to ask, when is everybody going to stop tip toeing around this issue? In a town close to my own the city council decided not to display Christmas trees this year. The Christmas tree isn't a reliqious symbol; don't these people do their research? People get sued for having wreaths displayed on their doors; while in the same breath it is the same people doing the sueing who display Halloween decorations. The last time I checked Halloween started as a reliqious holiday. Why is it that all it takes is for one person to complain about something to only ruin it for the rest of society who was okay with it? It seems to me that people do not have the ability to decipher what is factual and what isn't or they have too much time on their hands and have nothing better to do. Tony you hit the nail right on the head. I couldn't agree with you anymore than I already do. The whole banning dodgeball at school or having 'no touch' playgrounds. Give me a break! We really are becoming a weak society in more ways than one. It really makes me sick! America is supposed to be a melting pot of ideas and perspectives and religions and and and..... But we're not that America anymore. We're excluding all these points and we're really not doing anyone any favors. We're not as knowledgeable as we once were because we've eliminated all different points of view one idea at a time. I am sick of all this crap. I'm gonna rent a gym and start my own dodgeball team and I am not going to buy that insurance policy because you're supposed to feel a little pain! And I do make my daughter do her chores regardless of what the labor dept says or child protective services has to say; it's part of growing up. I agree with you too Tibarbi. If there is something that someone doesn't agree with then that person has the right to not read the paper, not watch that television program, not be involved in the conversation. It's called 'Free Will'; use it, excersize it before that too is taken away! I use mine; all the time! Love your answer specialtygasket! I am surprised that people gave you a thumbs down they obviously did not get your sacrastic sense of humor; I for one did! On your behalf jsmb383 the next time someone at a retail store wishes me a Merry Christmas I will say to that person 'Thank You' and then go in the store and say to the owner or manager 'Thank You for allowing your employee to wish someone a Merry Christmas. And for that I will buy something from your store'. You know what is even more ironic if I were to do that (I will do it by the way because I am just that kind of person) is that I am not religious! I don't go to church; I never have and I probably never will. So technically I should be offended but guess what; I'm not! Ha Ha Ha. So there's a village in California missing their idiot!

Crafts and activities for school-age daycare kids? With tomorrow being fall break the school age kids at the daycare I work at will be there all day. I'm trying to come up with new ideas, crafts, and activities to keep them busy and occupied. I'm thinking of doing Halloween/Fall crafts, a few things I thought I could have them do are, Hand print wreaths, Fall pictures, leaf rubbings, but I'm trying to come up with other things-I want to set up different centers and have them rotate through each of them in the morning-then change the activities to all new things in the afternoon and have them do those. So I'm open to all suggestions!! Keep in mind it needs to be something that doesn't require a lot of planning since I only have until tomorow morning!

What is your absolute favorite Holiday? I personally think that Christmas is the best holiday ever! And no its not because you get presents even if those are pretty sweet. My favorite part is just the feeling of Xmas. The decorations(the trees, lights, candles,wreaths) the music, all the great classic movies that come on TV. Its just one of those holidays where you can almost remember what happened every year. I cant remember what happened this Halloween or that Thanksgiving but i can almost remember what happened every Christmas. Its just a magical time of the year that cannot be beat in my opinion. So whats your favorite holiday and why??? ^_^

How Do you Decorate your home for Christmas? Themed or eclectic? I personally love Tree's that have ornaments that have been collected through the years, because those have the most meaning to me. I put multicolored lights and clear lights on the tree. I usually put up 2 big tree's and 4 or 5 2 foot trees. I love garland where ever I can put it and I decorate that to. I love wreaths all over the house and on the doors of my kid's rooms. I also like collecting Nativity Scene's. I usually start getting thing down from the attic the day after Halloween and finish putting everything up by Thanksgiving. That way I can enjoy the holiday's and festivities. How about it, anyone else crazy for christmas? I would love to hear from you. What things do you collect? What are some of your traditions.

Homemade halloween costumes ideas (look or else) muhaha!? Here are some of (SOME) of my homemade halloween costume ideas for one person and groups! ENJOY (OR ELSE) Btw hope yall have a happy halloween One person costumes: 1. Ghost Don’t just stick the sheet over your head! Instead, cut a neck hole from an old sheet and wear it over your body. Take a second sheet, and drape and pin it (like a toga) to add a floaty, ghostly flair. Powder your face and your hair white, and drape light chains over your shoulders. 2. Witch To make a witch’s hat from poster board, cut one large circle for the brim, then cut out the space where the head will fit. Cut another large circle, and cut a slit into the center of the circle. Also cut one-inch slits all around the outside of the circle to make tabs. Wrap this circle around to make a cone, then attach the cone to the brim with the tabs (use masking tape to hold the tabs). Spray paint the entire hat black. Wear black flowing clothes and striped leggings. 3. Mummy Cut strips of off-white fabric, like muslin or cheesecloth, and wrap around the arms, legs, body, and head, but make sure the mummy can see and breathe! 4. Zombie Take any old clothes and distress them by fraying the edges and dusting with talcum powder. Pick a theme---you could be a zombie groom, cheerleader, or waitress. 5. Skeleton Using white or glow-in-the-dark fabric paint, paint a skeleton onto black sweats. Use face paints to make your face look like a skull. 6. Vampire Wrap a large piece of dark velvet around your neck for a cape. Pin in place with an old brooch. Wear dark clothes in romantic fabrics like crushed velvet and satin. 7. Cat Start with a leotard and tights. Make a tail by stuffing a tube of fabric. Ears are easy to make from a headband and cardboard. You can also use fake fur for the ears and tail or to trim the leotard. Use face paint to make your eyes look cat-like and to add whiskers. 8. Dog Add felt spots to a white or brown sweatsuit. Make floppy dog ears out of felt, and hot glue them to a headband. Paint a puppy dog face, complete with a big spot around one eye, to complete the costume. 9. Bumblebee or Ladybug Paint poster board to look like the body and wings of a bumblebee or ladybug. Wear with leotard and tights to match, and attach wires to a headband for antennae. 10. Butterfly Sew two long pieces of bright, shimmery fabric down the back of a long-sleeved leotard. Sew the other end of each piece to the underside of a sleeve, so that when you lift your arms, your wings flutter out. Add antennae. 11. Spider Wear black clothes. Make six tubes of black fabric, and sew three on each side of your shirt or leotard. Tie each set of three legs together with strings, and attach the strings to your shirt sleeves so that when you move your arms, all of your legs move, too. 12. Nun A nun’s habit is a basic black tunic (a shapeless dress with long sleeves). If you have a sewing machine, then you can make a tunic! Look online for patterns. Add a white collar to the habit. Then, measure a strip of white poster board to fit around your head, and hot glue black fabric to this strip. Bobby-pin the poster board to your hair. 13. Friar or Monk Make a brown tunic, and wrap a simple rope around the waist. 14. Lady in Waiting Make a simple, velvet tunic dress, or look in thrift stores for a long-sleeved, floor-length, dress. Wrap gold cording under the bustline to create an Empire waist, and crisscross the cording in front. Make a cone hat (like for the witch’s hat, only leave off the brim), and attach a translucent scarf to the top of the hat. 15. Fairy Make a short, sleeveless tunic in a light, flowing fabric, or wear a leotard and a tulle skirt (which you can make by stitching gathered tulle to a strip of elastic).

If not, then cut shell shapes out of the same shimmery fabric. Accessorize with plastic seaweed (the kind used in fish tanks) and fishnet. 34.

Wear a nude-colored leotard and tights and a shower cap, and carry a scrub brush. 47. Playing Card Take two large pieces of poster board. Set the two pieces on top of each other and punch one hole about six inches from both corners. Use heavy yarn, rope, or fabric to tie the two pieces of poster board together. Paint both sides of a sandwich board to look like a playing card, such as the Queen of Hearts (add a crown and wear red underneath) or a Joker (add a jester’s hat and wear brightly colored clothes). 48.
