Zombie Pumpkins! wrote:Awesome! That's a cornucopia of Thanksgiving designs, to be certain. Frozen pumpkins are very hard to carve, and previously frozen pumpkins that have thawed become instant mush. So it's impressive that you accomplished these 3 detailed designs. And the photos will last forever, even if the pumpkins didn't.
Did you get to show them off in person, and did you get some good reactions? People don't expect to see jack 'o lanterns on Thanksgiving. I have a pumpkin I'm trying to keep alive until Christmas, to really surprise my family and/or Santa.
I texted the pics of the pumpkins to a lot of people and got a great reaction from all of them! Like you said, none of them had ever seen carved pumpkins for Thanksgiving. The Swedish chef went to my parents house for the holiday and they loved it. They lit it up and used it for a centerpiece in their entryway they told me. The turkey went with me to my in laws and was a big hit there as well.
