How to find the greatest pleasure of Halloween

Halloween is a spooky and scary night. People dress up in the Hallween. Some people buy pumpkin and carve it into a jack-o-lantern. A jack-o-lantern is a pumpkin with a face. This is how you make a jack-o-lantern: you buy a pumpkin, take it home,carve the pumpkin and give it a spooky, happy and scary face.

Why are Carved Pumpkins Called "Jack O' Lanterns"? A jack-o'-lantern (or jack o'lantern) is a carved pumpkin, or turnip, associated chiefly with the holiday of Halloween and named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called will-o'-the-wisp or jack-o'-lantern.

A brief history of the jack-o'-lantern and how carving faces on pumpkins became a Halloween tradition. As to how this name made the jump to referring to carved pumpkins with lights inside, it has its origins in the Celtic practice of hollowing out and carving faces into turnips and other vegetables during Samuin (a festival where many of the traditions of Halloween come from). After carving the vegetables, they’d place candles inside and put them in windows or carry the make-shift lanterns with them as they walked to ward off evil spirits.
