For many of us, Sunday was "Sukkah Day". With Yom Kippur behind us and a non-work day for most, Sunday was the ideal day to get the sukkah up and ready for Wednesday night...the first night of Sukkot.  After the tools are put away the fun begins...the decorations!  Here are some of my favorite picks to inspire your sukkah decorating.

The children would love to help make these colorful paper rings and fruit garlands.

Plastic tablecloths are often one dollar so these streamers couldn't be more of a bargain!

How easy is this? Slice a pool noodle and hang on string to create a garland!
