Default Halloween?

Where I am right now there's lots of families and Halloween decorations, which I like to see. Does anyone decorate for this in TV, or does the lack of kids deter you? Or maybe you just buy a bunch of candies and feed yourself?!

There are some good displays. In my neighborhood (VT)we have a home with articulating skeleton figures.
Everyday they tell a new story. This morning it was 56 deg here, they had coats and a blanket over the dog (skeleton). They do chores, paint, gutter cleaning, and the drinking wine. Very cool.

given that there is no real trick or treating due to the lack of kids here, I think that decorating houses is far more rare than in a standard neighborhood. I sold all of my fairly elaborate decorations before we arrived here

No need to decorate for Halloween, just make a trip down to the squares any night of the year.
