In many parts of the world, lights are thought helpful to guide benevolent spirits home as well as keep those of darkness at bay. And in equally many parts of the world, this time of year is considered one where spirits are abroad. One of the most beloved aspects of Halloween, the carving of pumpkins and vegetables into lanterns has been practiced for centuries as way to facilitate this and as a way of dealing with the encroaching early nightfall. It's probably a tradition that's been carried out in your own home. Surely you were thinking about doing it again this year? Well, why not enter your transient masterpiece in Menewsha's own carving contest!

If I have to make them two separate posts let me know. Oh! Also let me know if you want me to make them links so they take up less room!

It turned out pretty well considering all I had to paint with was nail polish xD
Oh poop, I didn't take a picture with my username and dad threw the pumpkins away at the beginning of the week >.< Oh well, enjoy the picture at least XD
Idea! I have pictures of me carving it on my phone! I shall get those and I guess get a new picture of the bathroom XD

I'm going to try to enter this one. 8D
I never carved a pumpkin before, because we don't really celebrate halloween in here.
But i really want to this year, should be a lot of fun. 8D
I'm sad that the one year I decided to carve a pumpkin, Mene didn't have a pumpkin carving contest. ; 3; I don't know if I want to carve one again. o 3o
