The magic of the jack o' lantern is a long-standing tradition associated with Halloween. Every year, people all over the world carve pumpkins into intricate designs and place candles inside to create spooky and enchanting displays. While many believe this tradition is purely for decorative purposes, there is actually a special code hidden within the jack o' lanterns. This code is known as the "Pumpkin Code" and has been passed down through generations. It is believed to have originated from ancient Celtic traditions and was used to communicate important messages during the Halloween season. Each carving pattern and placement of the pumpkin held a specific meaning, allowing individuals to convey messages without speaking a word.

You don t mention they might forget they have a child or are married, so much so they don t recognise them when they see them next and refuse to believe they are who they claim.
Each carving pattern and placement of the pumpkin held a specific meaning, allowing individuals to convey messages without speaking a word. The Pumpkin Code was often used to signal safety or warning. For example, a single pumpkin with a triangle-shaped eye was a sign that a particular house was offering treats and was safe for children to visit.
