What season do you most like to put up decorations.

Maybe it is time for me to start giving my Christmas decorations to my grandkids too. The ones they might like are pottery and heavy, which means $$ for shipping. They’re not even married. They probably just want things their parents might give them or stuff from Costco.

I do minimal decorating for Christmas; that’s it. Rather than hanging outside lights, I put a lit display in the front window.
 
I'm not entertaining for Christmas, but sometimes someone will stop in for a few minutes. I have some large plastic storage boxes with snap on lids to protect Christmas arrangements from dust, so they still look new, and a small artificial tree with lights. I can and have brought those things out to brighten up the living room, but the whole experience takes about 15 minutes tops, so it's not considered serious decorating.
 

I usually put out some mums and a pumpkin for fall. I still do a bit of decorating for Christmas. I have some small trees and some old, treasured ornaments some of which belonged to my grandmother. It is getting about time for me to pass those along!
 
I tend to put something up for most seasons/holidays to make things a little different in the house. I don't go overboard, because what you put up, you have to take down. Somethings are out year around & with only a few changes made to them to fit the season. I like for decorations to be multi-holiday/seasons if they can.

I'll start with the fall decorations here in September which will be added to for Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving, I'll switch to Christmas. Not much to do through winter, but around March/April I'll put out a few spring things to bright up the house.
 
Im all alone too. Most years nobody ever sees the inside of this house.
Thats okay. I decorate for me. Just because youre alone shouldnt stop you.
But if you dont want to thats okay too. :D
Ty for that. You made a good point.
