Does anyone actually buy and carve real pumpkins?

in my family, we still do actually carve real pumpkins...only i prefer growing them to buying them. roasting the seeds is fun too. but neighborhood kids will smash them if you leave them out...that's a given.

 

even though it is a pagan holiday,,, we still carve pumpkins. The family object of it the important thing of it. I have 5 boys, so it is an important part of October not so much Halloween. But the scary part, the visual part is the big thing for alot of us.
Three of my boys and myself carve the pumpkins. The two older- 21yrs and 19yrs. they don`t carve pumpkins but I myself will always carve a pumpkin or 2 or more. no matter how old I get. smilin`

 

Nah. It's them pumpkins. They congregate overnight at a particular house to chat and party. Then they forget which house they belong to and go back to the wrong one.

.

 

ahhhh. that would make sense. they take the decorations with them to liven up the party.

 

that is so dam cool never thought of it that, would def make cooler halloween:H

 

Gives new meaning to the phrase 'pumpkins getting smashed.'

.

 

speaking of pumpkins getting smashed, is pumpkin ale big everywhere else this time of year...or is it just here?

 

someone always has their frou frou beer.

 

man, they got pumpkin ale all over the place here...and pumpkin ale festivals!

 

yup. there's garlic festivals in california. it's a fun festivity. give me my basic beer.
