7 Things You Should Know About Carving Halloween Pumpkins
Published October 2, 2010What would Halloween be without brightly lit Jack o lanterns burning on the front walk? And, you don’t have to stop with one pumpkin carving either; the more the merrier.

1.
Choose your design before you purchase your pumpkin. Whether you pick up your orange orb at the pumpkin patch or the grocery store, you will want to choose one with a design in mind. Halloween pumpkins come in all sorts of sizes and shapes; some are tall or long, some are short and fat, but each one has a personality waiting to come out. So pick one that matches what you have in mind, and your jack o lantern design will be easier to create.
2.
When you begin your pumpkin carving and cut off the top of your pumpkin, use this tip. Cut it out in a hexagonal shape and angle your knife sharply in toward the center of the pumpkin. This way the top will be easier to put back on correctly and it won’t fall into the pumpkin.
Why We Have Jack-o-lanterns on Halloween and What the Devil Has to Do With It
Published October 1, 2010How Jack-o’-Lanterns Fit into Halloween
- Image via Wikipedia
Ever wonder why on Halloween we carve pumpkins into Jack-o’-lanterns as Halloween Deocrations? The story of the Jack-o’-lantern goes back hundreds of years. In Europe, (especially Ireland and Scotland) a jack-o’-lantern is usually a carved Turnip, and unlike it’s American counterpart, is actually carried as a lantern, hung from a string or stick on Halloween night.
The mythology behind jack-o’-lanterns is rich and varied. Many of the stories are set on Halloween and are often associated with the evils of drink.
The Most Famous Jack-o’-lantern story
One Halloween night, Jack, a notorious drunk, has one too many drinks at the local pub and his soul begins to slip from his body. The Devil appears to claim it, but Jack suggests they have one drink together before going. The Devil tells jack he has no money, and Jack suggests that he change himself into a sixpence, then change back after paying. The Devil transforms into the coin, and Jack snatches the sixpence and puts it in his change purse, which has a silver catch in the shape of a cross, trapping the Devil.
