Will you carve a pumpkin for Halloween?

The spookiest day of the year is almost upon us.

WITH LESS THAN two weeks to go until Halloween, households will soon be getting into the spooky spirit with some festive decorations.

For many people, that may mean picking out a pumpkin to carve and leave at the front door. That said, you shouldn’t do it too early, or it’ll be falling apart by 31 October.

Some will go all-out with elaborate designs, while others will opt to keep their pumpkin carving simple with a classic face of triangle eyes and a square mouth.

So, we’re asking: Will you carve a pumpkin for Halloween?
