If this mild weather has motivated you to decorate for Halloween, be prepared for some hate.
Why it matters: We asked Axios Dallas readers to share when they think it's appropriate to decorate for Halloween — the responses confirmed the contentiousness of the topic.
What you're saying: Carol W. plans to put up Halloween decor by the end of the month, to get ahead of her travels next month.
"Please! Not before Oct. 1!" Carol H. says. She says our question hit a nerve because a neighbor uses a 12-foot dragon as Halloween and Christmas decor, keeping it up through January.
"Many HOAs deny you the pleasure of decorating sooner than a couple weeks before the holiday," Leslie N. says. If allowed, Leslie would put up decorations two months before Halloween and change them up every couple of weeks.
The bottom line: Do whatever makes your heart happy, but, please, spare us the hideous inflatables at all times of the year.
