I bought two pumpkins this year. This is the first one earlier this week I worked on as part of a pumpkin carving activity I did with family. I have this same video or a version of it on my Instagram page, along with others showing what other family members did. This is the first year of everything without mom. She loved Halloween!
I recently learned that All Hallows Eve aka Halloween was once the way earlier people remembered the flood and celebrated the destruction of evil in the world. For a number of cultures, the October to November time of year was considered the beginning of a new year.
This is my third year of not only carving out these gourds, but also adding color in the form of wax crayons.
Enjoy the short video and have a happy and safe halloween.
