Halloween

I just learned a small tidbit of the History of Halloween:

When the Irish Immigrants came to America many years ago,  they brought with them,  the tradition of carving Turnips for Halloween.  Strangely enough, 

 pumpkins

when Turnips turned out to be hard to come by,  they switched to carving PUMPKINS!  :-)
