Seeing as though it seems likely that we're all going to be spending a lot more time in our own homes for the rest of this year (and beyond) than we're used to, it stands to reason that we might as well make a bit of an effort to spruce the place up a bit.

Yes, social distancing has turned me into something of a maniac when it comes to online shopping, but don't let my over-eagerness put you off taking some time to redecorate that room you've been meaning to paint lilac for years, or some such similar home renovation project.
You can always treat yourself to a giant animatronic Pennywise, too:And perhaps as we get towards the time of year when holidays start cropping up in earnest, you'll find people are going a bit more full on with the decorations than they have in previous years.
If this was very much your line of thinking while reading this, then I have some excellent news to share with you, because you can now buy a pre-lit Halloween tree for the spooky season of your wildest dreams.
Yes, Michaels is selling this six-foot artificial fir tree for $99 - and it comes replete with 150 incandescent lights to give off that special Halloween glow.
A product description for the tree reads;
"This black pencil tree will perfectly complement your Halloween décor. You can place it near your mantel, along with grapevine pumpkins and cheesecloth ghosts."
Yes, we're all more acquainted with the traditional Christmas tree than these spooky Halloween trees, but let's be honest, 2020 could do with all the help it can get to be enjoyable.
