Halloween Tradition #1 - Decorating the Front Door
Each year, on October 1st., we begin our first annual Halloween tradition. Just as the sun is setting, we hang a Halloween wreath on the front door, place a Halloween print door mat on the front porch and raise a Halloween flag from our eighteen foot tall flag pole, all to mark the beginning of the Halloween season.

Halloween Wreath
A spooky or funny Halloween wreath hanging on your front door during the haunting season is a wonderful way to say to the world, "Welcome to our Haunted Home". They usually don't cost very much to buy or can be a project that the entire family can enjoy making together.

We hang one on every door, inside and out including the garage. Store bought wreaths are available in craft and department store craft sections at this time of the year and can be used as is on your doors and walls. For Halloween Wreath making tips, visit the  Halloween Crafts section at Halloween-Online.com.

Halloween Door Mat
A festive Halloween style of door mat is a wonderful way to welcome your guests at the door and let them know that you are getting in the spooky spirit of the season. These are available in a variety of patterns and designs during the month of October or can be bought online year round.

Halloween Flag
You can find all kinds of wonderful Autumn and Halloween flags during the season. One of our favorites is pictured to the right, is simple and to the point, but many designs others are available. This particular one is a large three by five foot flag, which includes two metal grommets for attaching it to the flag line.

Because of its high visibility, a Halloween flag is a great way to let everyone in the neighborhood know well in advance that you will be expecting them to visit your house on Halloween night for trick or treating.

Currently we have a solar powered light mounted on the top of our flag pole. This year we are going to place a small plastic pumpkin pail over the light, so that it will glow at night as a beacon. It should look pretty cool!
