Every year without fail, my family has their annual Pumkin Cutting party. It has been going on for something like 35 years now, and is the most important event of the year. (Or at least I think so!) This year I am working at the bookstore and taking the weekend off to drive to NJ is unfortunately not going to work. I was really upset about this, as the Pumpkin Cutting party is the highlight of the year and I hate to miss it.

To compensate for this, we have decided to throw the first Massachussetts Edition of the Liloia Pumpkin Cutting Party. We are having it on the same day and will be maintaining many of the standard traditions for our party.

I don't think we will be singing Halloween carols. I for one am not a big fan of them, but with the family it is enjoyable. I don't think we would be able to get our friends to join in on that part of this. Some considerations for tricking them into singing would have to include drugs, alchohol, blackmail, pyramid cult schemes, and firearms. Tara, let's consider these options.

We will be posting pictures from both Pumpkin events here on the site, if you want to see any of the ones from last year, check out this or this.

It would be really cool to connect the two events through some sort of webcam, but I think we will settle for calling my family during the party and saying hello.

UPDATE - This previously had the typo PIMPKIN CUTTING PARTY, and while that might have proven more interesting than a PUMPKIN CUTTING PARTY, that is not what we are doing. Sorry to anyone who got all excited when they saw the original message!
