Please visit 4Seasons Halloween Store HERE

As leaves change from summer greens, to the colorful array of fall foliage in the northern regions of the United States, the pumpkin is becoming king of the patch. Soon these fall pumpkins will be sitting on stoops, and stairs, and windows, and lawns across America. Jack-O-Lantern is back in town, and here is our favorite updated Pumkpins for Halloween discussion for 2007.

A Jack-O-Lantern is easily recognizable as the most common display for the Holiday of Halloween. Pumkpins are native to the Americas, was not discovered by the Europeans until found by Colonial Americans. The pumkin was used in the Americas for Jack-O-Lanterns as they were larger, and better suited than the Turnips and Gourds that the Irish would use to celebrate Halloween before coming to America.

Halloween the holiday was not celebrated widespread across America until the 1800's. Before then, many people dismessed much of the celebration because if the beliefs and actions of the old druid priests who brought forward the idea of night to celebrate the closeness of dimensions between the living and the dead. The past and the future. The Irish community on America brought this seasonal celebration to America, and they found the Native Pumkins best suited for their Jack-O-Lantern display.
