Night Shadows!

When the moon is full and bright
On a starry starry night
And the wind is deadly still
Down your spine you feel a chill
Something spooky's in the air
You look around and no one's there
Not a living soul in sight
Are there spirits out tonight?

Witches go riding

When witches go riding,

and black cats are seen,

the moon laughs and whispers,

‘tis near Halloween.

Le Pompion-Pumpion -Pumpkin

Do you know where we got our word "pumpkin" from?

The word pumpkin originates from the word pepon, which is Greek for “large melon", something round and large. 

The French adapted this word to pompion, as in pom pom? The actual French word for pumpkin is potiron and it isn't pronounced pot iron!!

Which the British changed to pumpion and later American colonists changed that to the word we use today, "pumpkin".
