The changing of the seasons:

Generations ago, the first day of spring, summer and autumn were occasions for celebration. Reclaim the seasons with cheerful flags waving in the breeze outside your door. Select holiday-themed seasonal flags like Easter or Passover for Spring, or Halloween and Thanksgiving for autumn, or look for something that just reminds you of the season. A flag featuring a tulip or baby bird would be a wonderful way to greet Spring, while an image of a bonfire, leaf pile or tree with changing leaves could signal the arrival of fall.

The little holidays that dot the calendar

Why decorate only for Christmas or Thanksgiving? Find something to celebrate every week with flags that go with life’s smaller holidays. Consider brightening your home’s exterior decor with a flag honoring National Pie Day or The Statehood of Hawaii. Your ever changing flags will help you enjoy every week, and probably start many interesting conversations with neighbors or passers-by.
