Traditionally, Punkie Night is celebrated in small villages in parts of Somerset on the last Thursday in the month of October (before Halloween). Children spend days carving pumpkins to use as lanterns with candles inside in a night time procession through the streets

The photo is of me as a babe with a pull-along cat that was bright pumpkin orange with spooky green eyes. It's ok, I had two teddies handy to comfort me! I am lucky to still have the two teddies but I don't know what became of the pull along cat ...

Have a great punkie night..what a great tradition for the children..I took my 3 sons to a farm nearby today where they had a barn full of spooky stuff! we all love halloween but not the mischief part of it though
No, I agree - I don't like mischief but I do like "treat or treat"
