    We are not a religious family. Pumpkin carving is one of our traditions. We get more creative every year. Halloween is our favorite holiday. :)

    Got a large pumpkin on sale, carved it today, set it out on the pici-nic table where my neighbors in the adjoining apt. who are ill can see it, got some tips on what more to do with it (lol), baked the seeds, and I've a huge mound of pumpkiin flesh is in a large roaster in the oven to 'boil'---don't have a big enough pot to do it on top the stove. Got two candles in the pumpkin, and though this is the first time I did it alone, it has been fun. Gotta run, want to get a picture now it is dark, before more kids come...oops too late. lol

    Now I've got my photo. Oh, and I'm one of those crazy Christians, dressed in black, with a long black wig on, and Oddesey playing in the background. It is all in fun, depending on ones heart.

    Still not too late, Princess. Carve a pretty one or two for table decorations for Thanksgiving. Think out something for Thanksgiving ahead on paper, then carve then, bake the seeds with some seasoning, and cook up the pumpkin meat for real pumpkin pies. Let me know, if you do it, how you did...okay.

    We brought 2 large pumpkims, we carved the first one, used the carved pieces to make pumpkin soup, which was terrific, and we made pumpkin seeds to. We still have the other to make pumpkin cheese cake, more seeds and maybe more soup.

    It's fun - and in addition, you can wash and save the seeds for roasting and eating later!

    Thats a stereotypical response from a progressive. People who think like that suck the fun out of life. Where's your sense of adventure?

    It's fun, and even though my children are almost grown, we still love doing it each year. I'll do it even after they've left the house, and gone out on their own. It's just fun.

    (edit) and I love taking the pumpkin seeds and roasting them, and making pies out of the mush. Pumpkins are fun, lol.

    For me; my 2 cousins are the only ones that come here to trick or treat. I live back off of the main road and people don't travel off the main road.

    If it's with people I enjoy being around, it's fun. If not, then I don't like doing it.

    It's fun for adults to try (carvings can be very intricate) and older children too.
