One of the best parts about Halloween is taking part in the Irish tradition of pumpkin carving. Yes, fun fact—pumpkin carving was introduced by Irish settlers, who carved demonic faces into turnips to ward off trickster and sinner Stingy Jack's soul. Pretty intense, huh?
If you don't appreciate the mess of pumpkin carving or haven't managed to master the art of it, there are pumpkin decorating kits that make getting a pumpkin into the spooky spirit a breeze. Target is selling a couple that are simply meant to be on your porch.
