Did you know this about Halloween?

I knew some of that but had not heard all of it. I never knew about the Jack-O- Lantern part and my 10 year old will love to hear all this! She's a history nut that loves to learn about why things are the way they are and how they came to be. Now I can be "smart mom" today and let her know about some Irish Halloween origins, lately she has been into Irish history while researching our family tree and seeing how much of the Irish we have in ours. Thank you for the info, she will now have something else to search for and learn about!!
