Halloween

With summer time being over and the leaves beginning to change for some it’s time to cuddle up with some hot apple cider and a blanket but for others it’s time to begin celebrating Halloween.

Halloween can be considered one of people’s favorite holidays. It’s a Holiday filled with frights and cool nights with lots of activities to share with friends and family. You may decide to go to a haunted house, corn maze, or centuries old pumpkin carving. Exactly how it originated is still a mystery; it’s not a mystery on why people love carving these every year. Here are a few things to remember to assure your pumpkin carving night is safe and fun.

• Wear gloves when using carving tools and knives
• Clear any debris from the place you plan on putting a pumpkin
• Don’t place a pumpkin in a high traffic area to prevent from being bumped
• Consider using candle alternatives (Battery operated candles or LED lights)
• Don’t place lids on pumpkins if there is not at least 2 inches between the lid and the flame
