It's something I've never done ... carve a pumpkin that is! There wasn't much point in me trying to do so this year as I wasn't home for All Hallows' Eve ... maybe next year I will be!
I hope the pumpkins were much appreciated by others - they should've been!

LOL Actually they were appreciated by the children and the adults!! That was pretty cool in itself! Next year I will do a few more I think. I have been doing it for so long, they get done pretty quick.

I remember as a child, here in the UK, we didn't see pumpkins at all. So it was the humble swede, a turnip kind of thing, I think they're either the same as or similar to a rutabaga, and it was them that was hollowed out and a face cut in them - hard work too 'cos swede is tough!
My older sister, who's 10 years older than I, started a kind of tradition off when I was in my teens of a 'Captain Blood's Party' for All Hallows Eve, as well as the traditional ducking apples and bobbing apples we created a banquet of gruesome looking food - green and blue eggs, coloured bread, spaghetti and rice that looked like worms and maggots, and such like things, but the centre piece was always a cake dripping with yeuchy green icing and blood coloured icing with a skull and crossbones on top. And we spent the evening storytelling, horrible tales about Cpt Blood and the pirates and others he'd killed ...
There wasn no trick or treating in the UK then, and the All Hallows Eve Celebrations were always at home, maybe with friends visiting, and good fun.
My family didn't do it, but there is a tradition of setting a place at dinner for each person you knew who had passed away since the previous All Hallows Eve so they could join with the family one more time before passing through the veil 'twixt the worlds for good.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
