Fall is such a nice time of year. The colors of yellow, orange, brown and red are warm and inviting and make us think of family and friends.

Fortunately, some of the colors and elements of fanciful outdoor Halloween decorations can be carried over into your Thanksgiving theme.

Paint Your Pumpkins Instead of Carving Them

Pumpkins of course are a symbol of fall. If you choose not to carve your pumpkin, you can make a fun activity out of painting a Halloween decoration on your pumpkin – do this on just one side and when Halloween is over, you can turn the Halloween side to the back and create a Thanksgiving pumpkin scenario.

Add Halloween Decorations to Your Fall Door Wreath

Fall leaves work well into Halloween and Thanksgiving outdoor decorations. Place a fall wreath on your door, add a few ghosts and goblins that can be removed after the Halloween festivities are over and you will have an instant Thanksgiving decoration for your door.

Reuse Your Outdoor Lights

Lighting makes everything more festive. String orange lights in your outdoor space around your patio and leave them there to light up the Thanksgiving nights as well.

Be sure to take down the spider webs and scary monsters as soon as Halloween is over. Add a few symbols of Thanksgiving and voila – you’re ready to welcome the Thanksgiving season.
