Jack-O'-Lantern [Oct. 2015]

 

 

Would you like to see the Jack-O'-Lantern that my son made this year?

John-John이 매일 일이 바빠서 잠 잘 시간도 부족하다면서도 호박을 4개나 깎았다고 자랑하고 내게 사진까지

보내주었다. 매년 자기 솜씨가 좋아진다고 흐뭇한 마음까지 전하고 내 블러그에 올려달라고 부탁한다.

 

 

 

 

 

A jack-o'-lantern (or jack o'lantern) is a carved pumpkin, or turnip, associated 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. In a jack-o'-lantern, the top of the pumpkin is cut off to form a lid and the inside flesh then scooped out; an image, usually a monstrous or comical face, is carved out of the pumpkin's rind to expose the hollow interior. To create the lantern effect, a light source (such as a candle or tea light) is placed within before the lid is closed. This is traditionally a flame or electric candle, though electric pumpkin lights featuring various colors and flickering effects are also marketed specifically for this purpose. It is common to see jack-o'-lanterns on doorsteps and otherwise used as decorations prior to and during Halloween.
