slo’s FRIDAY 10/24 poll - Scary vs Happy Jack O Lanterns 🎃

[Imzadi]

I carved a couple pumpkins as a child.

I now prefer painted pumpkins instead. Especially with happy images. A scary, carved pumpkin is just for one night. And it begins to rot inside immediately. Whereas, painted pumpkins celebrate the whole fall/harvest season.

There are so many different ways pumpkins can be painted versus carving, IMO.

I LOVE carved pumpkins..all shapes & sizes. Funny, scary, whimsical, artsy..whatever! I’ve done them all and appreciate when other people make the effort as well!

The new, real pumpkin outside will stay intact so it can coast through to Thanksgiving.

I bought some fake pumpkins a few years ago and we carved a couple of those. I'm gotten lazy with age.
