Why isn't there a Halloween tree? I love the Christmas tree, it's one of my favourite Christmas things. So, why not a tree just for Halloween?

I think it would be a great way to decorate for Halloween. the tree could be a real big size, the sort to stand in the room at Christmas, or the size of a centrepiece which you could sit on the table. You could also have the tree in the doorway for trick-or-treaters to see. I love to have my tree sitting in the middle of the room because it shows up in the window to everyone outside.

What kind of tree would you like for Halloween?

The tree could be decorated with humour, with spookiness or you may be Pagan and want a spiritual theme. Each style would have different decorations/ ornaments and even a different style of tree.

A traditional tree would be something natural looking, something you could see outside your window but with extras all on one tree. Most likely the tree would be bare branches, due to the season of Autumn when trees are loosing their leaves. On the bare branches you could have birds, crows and ravens being great and traditional choices. Add little jack-o-lanterns as ornaments.

A creepy tree could have a bloodier look with zombies, ghouls, demons and body parts. Anything gross, horrifying and gruesome which you can fit onto the tree would work for a really frightening Halloween tree.

Trees could have a funny theme with googly eyes. You could also use decorations from other holidays and give them a Halloween make over. Like turning Santa Claus into a vampire, the Easter bunny into a skeleton and a leprechaun into a rabid zombie.

I'd put lights on the tree too. Halloween colours would be orange and black but the black wouldn't show very much. You could switch it out to orange and red for a scarier look or orange and white for a prettier tree.

Last of all - a tree topper. This tree doesn't have one but you could easily add something.

Any of these trees from Amazon could be great as a Halloween tree. Have fun adding your own finishing touches to give the Halloween tree your personal touch.

Some day there will be a traditional Halloween tree. The idea just has to catch on. Meanwhile I found four which you can choose from on Amazon. Which would you pick? Each has it's own style. I'd like one tree with something from each of these. Of them all, I think I would choose the one with the curved, Gothic-looking branches. I like that touch of romance and traditional in mostly everything. I'm not the sort to enjoy horror in my Halloween.
