Carve a Non-Pumpkin Gourd Day

Make Sure Your Knife Is Sharp


On Carve a Non-Pumpkin Gourd Day, you simply get a gourd and carve it as you would a pumpkin.

No, I have no idea if this is even possible. You'll find out soon enough.

Send me some pictures if you manage the task. I would love to see some gourds on your front porch before Halloween.

I bet they would be a little harder to smash than regular pumpkins. You'll find out soon enough.

Why don't we carve things like pumpkins for other holidays?

I suppose it's partly the time of year that matters. Pumpkins are ripe for the carving at the end of October.

Is anyone else getting tired of companies altering the word Halloween or October to fit their needs? It seems like everyone is doing it.

Even the Audubon Society has Owloween.

Just stop.
