Let’s face it, we all love putting up those creepy decorations for Halloween, but no one wants to spend the hours it takes to pack them all back up again. Why not make your decoration hassle a little easier by using reusable bags instead of boxes? You don’t want to leave your decorations up and be…that guy.
“It’s now several weeks past Halloween, and yet all of my Halloween home decor is still proudly displayed in our dining room, and it doesn’t look like anyone is going to be taking them down anytime soon. Our Halloween home decor consists primarily of my Department 56 Haunted Village, complete with miniature buildings, such as the Black Widow Dating service, light-up skeletons sitting on park benches and a scary pumpkin patch. Granted, it isn’t as large as my colossal Christmas village that takes up several tables and has multiple levels, but the Halloween village is a growing work in progress. But, as much as I like looking at it, it would be really great if someone would come pack it all up for me so I don’t have to.”
We all want to go green, so why not ditch those mismatched cardboard boxes with flexible and easy to carry green bags that take the hassle out of taking down decorations? Odds are you’ve got a lot of extra grocery bags sitting around with no real use. Why not use these bags for what they were made for…holding things.
Put those window clings into one bag, those black candles in another and don’t forget to wrap that Halloween village in paper before putting them into shopping bags. There is a wrong way and right way to take down Halloween decorations.
“You spent the whole night running from one house to the other with your children, or sitting on your porch handing out bags of candy. But now that the big day is over, it’s time to take down the inflatable spider and orange lights. It may seem like old hat, but there is a “right and wrong” way to take down decorations. You’ll want to do it correctly, so that next year you’re not pulling your hair out.”
I don’t have that much hair left to pull out, so it looks like I am buying a few bundles of these Go Green 10-packs. Don’t even think
about trying this with those single use plastic bags. They won’t make it up the stairs before that pointy witch’s’ hat is poking through and pretty soon your stairwell is filled with broken Halloween lights and witchy body parts.
Reusable shopping bags are tough and made for carrying things that have points and rough edges. That skull’s head may be smooth, but that bony hand isn’t going in one of those plastic or even paper bags. It’s time to grab those green shopping bags and brave the weather, because no one else is going to do it.
“Today as I drove around the neighborhood (putting off writing yet another revision for my editor of a “grabber” beginning for my book), I noticed numerous pumpkins with barely recognizable faces, long overdue for the yard recycle or wherever dead pumpkins go after the holidays. Strings of orange Halloween twinkle lights festooned some trees and even some Jack o’ Lantern pumpkin lights still dangled on a charming white fence. “
