Spooky welcome
If I dare to hang a wreath and place a pumpkin by the front door in Amsterdam, you'll be brave enough to do it too. So far, nothing's been demolished, but hey, it's not Halloween yet ;-). Make it cozy at the front door (or back door) with pumpkins and other accessories. My favorite Halloween decoration!
