There are some people in my area who have about a half dozen of those inflatable decorations too. Frankly I like the more basic decorations for Halloween. The inflatables just really don't do the job that well. As for lights, isn't Halloween supposed to be a bit spooky, not pretty? I have.

I also save bows and ribbons so people can't actually tell that their gifts are wrapped in recycled items. In fact, they often compliment me about how nice the wrapping looks. Anyways, I think this is a wonderful way to save during Christmas. Another thing to think about is that if you don't have time to save up paper to use for wrapping, just don't wrap the gifts at all. If you never wrap presents from the very start, the kids will never expect it, so it should be okay. By the way, have you noticed people starting to put up lights for halloween? They're doing it in Chicago these days, and it's so silly.
