I love skeletons. I’ve always loved them, probably because I am so interested in anatomy. (I literally used to read anatomy textbooks when I was growing up, hahaha.) So, when October rolls around every year, I get SO excited to see all of the skeleton displays for Halloween! I wish people would do these year-round. How fun would that be? You could change up the display depending on what’s happening that month or for each holiday.
[Side note: This just reminded me of the concrete geese that people used to put on their front porches. Was this just a local/Michigan thing? It was really popular for a few years. It was a concrete goose about knee-height, and you could buy clothes to dress it. I’m pretty sure my mom had one.]
Anyway, I was once again late in asking this year, but I asked you all for photos of displays that you’ve done or seen so that I could post them here. I don’t have a ton of photos, but I do love seeing the creative ideas that some people have in order to come up with this stuff!
