'Tis the season for autumn decorating

Thanksgiving lends itself to decorations including horns of plenty, turkey-themed candle holders, luxe linens and loads of pumpkins, which can later be turned into jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween. Small changes, but they can do a lot to set the mood for this now-past holiday.

Maybe Yourhome readers were hitting the road this weekend to spend time with friends and family, but nearly 50 per cent of those who voted in last week's poll said they weren't decorating for the holiday.

Twenty-two per cent decked their halls with Thanksgiving touches, while 14 per cent took the holiday as a chance to spruce up their dinner table.

Fall decor already fit the bill for eight per cent, and an additional eight per cent relied on their Halloween decor - which leads into this week's poll question (find it on the bottom left of the front page).

When do you decorate for this spooky time of year? Are you an early bird or a last minute decorator? Cast your vote and I'll update you on the results next week.
