Holiday Decor

Do you guys decorate your offices or doors to match the upcoming holidays?

I am finding myself with quite a bit of time on Friday's so these days I would be available to decorate ? would NEVER happen M-Thr!

Just wondering what everyone was doing for Halloween, Thanksgiving, & Christmas!!

I thought about wrapping my door to look like a Mummy and put some kind of word play of "wrapping up boo boos" or something! any Ideas?

I'm not creative that way! The best I can do is printing out block letters that say "Nurse k1p1ssk" and some season-specific shape (Leaves/pumpkins for fall, snowflakes for winter, flowers for spring), coloring it all pretty, and taping them to my door! Last year I had Elf-hats, stockings, and other Santa-themed shapes, but someone must've complained about it as I was told we are not supposed to "promote" any holiday and so now it's very generic decorating for me!

A little "boo"-boo ghost would be cute too. I don't decorate. I almost bought a 3 ft skeleton I saw in the holiday aisle of the grocery store last week, but it wasn't anatomically correct ? so I skipped. Knowing my kids they'd start to use it to demonstrate their injuries.

Dollar store pumpkin door hanger, centipedes and eyeball battery lights for me. Usually some kind of holiday themed or season themed door hanger and matching desk garland. Simple but just enough to let the kids know I think about the holidays as well.

I accomplished this today lol.

Hopefully it doesn’t scare my preschoolers! My 2&3 year old would love this.

I don’t do a ton. I do have my “The Witch is In” sign on my door. Come to think of it, I could leave that up all year!?plus, I’m in a high school so I have a cool ceramic pumpkin and ghost a couple of the kids made me. I like lots of twinkle lights around Christmas.

I have some window clings up for fall. My treat bucket gets changed out to a pumpkin. For Christmas I do a little more. I have a little tree I put up, more window clings and hang some garland around the office.

I don't do anything related to the holiday per day. But trees and leaves for fall, snowmen and snow for winter, teeth related for February (dental month), rainbow for spring. Of course these all have the cheesy nurse sayings to go along with the decorations.
