jack-o-lanterns
Carved October decorations
Jack-o-lanterns are pumpkins carved with faces and lit from within by candles, displayed at Halloween.
The practice comes from an Irish legend about a man named Jack who tricked the devil and was condemned to wander with only a carved turnip to light his way.
In America, the native pumpkin replaced the turnip.
The porch was lined with grinning jack-o-lanterns.
