I'd like to. My BF and his son have their own tradition, so I won't get in the way of that. But I'd like to carve my own as well. Perhaps I'll give it to my mom.
Mainly, my favourite part of carving a pumpkin is roasting the seeds.
I have one and used it a lot, but now it gets used only once or twice a year. My sister recently asked me to bring mine to Cape May NJ so she can use it. Hers bit the dust!
