Well, there's 100 years till next time, so you'll have plenty of time to prepare your decorations.

Then I beat you on holiday decor, for once! I hung Mardi Gras lights -- purple green and gold, traditional MG colors -- from the fireplace mantel.

OK, I actually hung the lights a year or two ago and took a photo of it, which I posted on Facebook then and again this Mardi Gras. That about as close as I get to decorating for any holiday except for some half-hearted attempts around Halloween -- dragging out a light-up skeleton and a couple of other things around 5 p.m. Oct. 31 -- and maybe a few things with a little more impact at Christmas.

Yeah, I don't do any Mardi Gras stuff.   I do think it's funny that you decorate for Halloween,  on Halloween.

Yes, I'm always running around hastily putting it up as I see trick-or-treaters coming down the street!  :laugh:

When my kids were little, I was much more elaborate. We carved pumpkins, hung that spider web stuff on the porch, hung ghosts on a tree the kids made by pulling pieces of sheet over Styrofoam balls and drawing on faces with Sharpies, constructed a scarecrow with old clothes, leaves and a scary plastic mask. My remaining Halloween decor dates back to those days.

As for Mardi Gras, I do it as a tribute to my time of living in New Orleans.
