    Fun fact: the original “pumpkins” were actually turnips because we didn’t have pumpkins in Ireland. These look wayyyyyy scarier. They’re a bit harder to carve but look amazing. If anyone’s looking for something to do in quarantine I’d give it a go
    And also a couple of really old people have actually asked me to sing/dance or recite poetry before I get my “treat”. As this was still done in Ireland until maybe 40 years ago.

    If you don’t celebrate Halloween because of your religion then that’s fine. Please don’t shove your religion onto other people.
