Here Oklahoma begins decorating for Halloween

In Oklahoma, the seasons are about to change! And when the first cool, crisp fall morning arrives, Oklahomans can’t wait to get their Halloween decorations out. But when is it appropriate to start putting up Halloween decorations?

We asked our listeners on Facebook when it’s appropriate to start hanging Halloween decorations, and they had the best answers. One said they leave their Halloween decorations up all year long. And another said they still hang Christmas decorations.

However, some people have strong opinions about when Halloween decorations can be put up. Although stores start putting Halloween decorations on shelves as early as July, you don’t see them in homes until much closer to the holiday.

When do Oklahomans put up their Halloween decorations?

According to DIYer Martha Stewart, there is no “right or wrong time” to decorate for Halloween. You can start as early as September, when the weather usually starts to change, except sometimes in Oklahoma. However, the most popular time to start Halloween decorating is the first or second week of October.

Oklahoma is expected to have a fall cold front in late August, so if you’re too excited to wait until October, you can start decorating for fall/Halloween before the end of the month! It’s your home, after all. If you enjoy decorating for Halloween before September, go for it.

Spirit Halloween is already open. And Starbucks brought back its Pumpkin Spice Latte earlier than ever. Why can’t you put your 12-foot-tall skeleton in your yard?
