Pumpkin carving for Halloween is a long-standing tradition in the United States. On the eve of Halloween (October 31st) every year, families carefully select a pumpkin and carve various patterns into it using tools, such as ghost faces, owls, bats, and so on. After carving, people place candles or lights inside the pumpkin to illuminate it, creating a festive atmosphere. This activity is not only a Halloween celebration but also a moment that brings families together. Family members can choose pumpkins, design patterns, and cooperate in carving, enhancing their relationships. In various communities across the United States, neighbors often compare whose jack-o'-lanterns are more exquisite, adding more fun to Halloween. This activity has also undergone many evolutions in modern times, such as using LED lights instead of candles and designing more complex patterns. However, the core remains the inheritance and promotion of traditional Halloween culture. This activity has also gradually spread beyond the United States and become one of the Halloween celebrations worldwide.
