The Great Pumpkin

Well, Halloween's here again- and it's time for the Great Pumpkin. I always enjoy watching two Charlie Brown holiday specials: "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" and the beloved Christmas special (which is 40 years old this year-- some of the original kids who voiced the characters are going to be venturing into grandparent territory soon, I imagine!).

Pumpkins are fun by themselves, regardless of Linus and his flights of fancy. It's always neat to see the different faces carved on various pumpkins. Most people stick with standard stuff-- happy faces, sad faces, scary faces, evil faces... but some take it to a higher level. To celebrate Halloween, here's a page that features some fantastically carved pumpkins. Enjoy!
