Oh!—fruit loved of boyhood!—the old days recalling,When wood-grapes were purpling and brown nuts were falling!When wild, ugly faces we carved in its skin,Glaring out through the dark with a candle within! - from "The Pumpkin" (1850) by John Greenleaf Whittier
One of the most instantly recognizable symbols of the Halloween season is the hollowed and carved out Pumpkin known as a Jack-o'-Lantern. Every year, millions of children and adults alike sit down to carve their own unique and frightening versions of this hallows eve mascot to put in their windows or on their front porch. And in this case, the Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel has an annual tradition of carving great pumpkins. It's not just a matter slicing and dicing, we've entered into a contest of skill. May the sales office win!
