Halloween Decorating with Jack O'Lanterns!
A Classic Decoration -- Jack O'Lanterns for Halloween:
In the USA, Jack-O'-Lanterns are typically associated with carved pumpkins used for Halloween. If you do not care for the messy and slimy practice of carving your own pumpkin -- or for the dangers of a lit candle -- then here are some creative alternatives for your 'Jack.

The jack-o-lantern has some company in this Halloween set of three. Buy the three cute iconic Halloween tea lights shown by clicking Halloween Tealight Set.
Can a Jackolantern be perfectly round? - Sure!
These paper lanterns are so popular now, so I am sure this jolly jack-o-lantern will sell out quickly. I do not think it is a good decoration for outside, so find somewhere to hang it in your home.
Please note the classic and iconic (is that redundant?) face on this jolly orange lantern.

Essentially, Halloween has become an American Holiday where children go door to door collecting "treats" or giving back "tricks" if they are not pleased. It is also a fun time to find a pretend identity. OK, so you wish you were a cupcake (cake? Really?) then become a cute cupcake. One year I dressed up like a fairy goth mother.

Jackolantern Plates to Halloween-up your dinner table! - An easy and affordable decoration for October!
Children love eating off Halloween plates. I need to buy at least 7 fun Halloween plates for my dinner table. My seven grandchildren seem to adore the Halloween season and jackolanterns on plates will delight them all during the days leading up to October 31st.
Jack-o-lantern plates are also a good source for patterns for your carved pumpkin. Personally, I like the classic smile pattern. Some like to carve intricate patterns of Castles or Cinderella. Cinderella? Yes, Disney can be seen on many a carved pumpkin.
Do you decorate with the iconic jack-o-lantern? I do. If you need more pumpkin ideas, you need to check out my Halloween Craft page about painting acorns. Click Acorn Pumpkins for Halloween!. Painting acorns is a fun project for the entire family. It is also a cheap one!
