Tonight we are carving pumpkins with my friends, something I just love to so. We get silly, usually put on random costumes or masks and take a ton of laughing pictures. I like to see how creative everyone gets and I end up with a huge display of jack o lanterns when we're done. CZ came the first year, then CA and SC, then CZ, SC and BZ, this year CZ, JF JP and my little brother AG are coming and its gonna be a blast.
In my house as a kid, we loved doing crafts for the holidays. Dying Easter eggs took hours because we each had a dozen works of art to produce. Carving pumpkins took special planning to get just the right face design and hanging xmas ornaments was a battle to see how many on the tree were yours and they all had to be right in front where everyone could see them. These are things I just loved doing.
Most of the friends that have/will come over for carving haven't done it before and I think that's kinda fun. The first time CZ carved her pumpkin she was so excited she could not stop grinning. I like sharing my traditions with other people and its a lot of fun when they enjoy it and keep coming back. I may not share these things with my kids; if for some reason I cannot adopt, can't have kids or in some way end up childless, I will have fun doing these things with other people that I love.
