Cross-Quarter

“festival of Samhain,
when people would light bonfires and
wear costumes to ward off ghost”
- History.com
Cross-Quarter
How pumpkins became Jack-O-Lanterns in the “New World”
“jack-o'-lanterns originated in Ireland, with large turnips and
potatoes. In England, large beets are used. Immigrants from these
countries brought the jack-o’-lantern tradition with them when they
came to the United States. They soon found that pumpkins, a fruit
native to America, make perfect jack-o’-lanterns.”
- History.com
“Trick or Treat”
• Odd custom – dress up unrecognizable, bang on neighbors’ doors
demanding treats or you will do a “trick”
• In some (many?) neighborhoods, can actually be a very good way
for neighbors to mingle while kids have fun
• What happens to all that candy???
My Memories
• Old enough to trick-or-treat with friends
• Came home and traded
• 5 Snickers for one Heath!
• Candy disappeared, doled out in packed lunches,
disappeared by All Saint’s Day, lasted until Easter
• Today – kids have many “Special occasions” for indulgent treats –
birthdays, holidays
• Give to Food Banks/Pantries? – they struggle to provide healthy
balanced nutritious foods/meals and often serve populations with
special needs
• Donate to Military? – they have healthy goals too
• Dentists – gift certificates? Who ultimately gets?
I saw this! Just can’t find it
Bite-size candy attached to a fluorescent pencil
Introduced one year in response to candy/excess sugar concerns
• Fun evening for neighbors to mingle and socialize on a cool
Autumn night
• Collecting candy is the tradition
• Ongong challenge – valued tradition that can foster community
spirit but associated food we can do without!
Warning – next slide, darken screen if you
• Do not like gross-looking things
• Are eating and can’t stomach it
• Next slide ha nothing gruesome about human body parts
• But does have some Halloween (gross) tricks on serving food
