Halloween in New Smyrna Beach!
Hey there Blog 
Followers! We thought we would get you in the spirit for Halloween this year! Come and join us at the Night Swan Intracoastal Bed & Breakfast as we enjoy the holiday! But first, a bit of history about Halloween and "why the carved pumpkins"?
"Without a doubt the most recognizable symbol of Halloween is a pumpkin carved into a jack-o-lantern. To understand the origins of how pumpkin carving began and what it really means we must first take a look at the holiday itself. How long has Halloween been around? Have there always been pumpkins carved? Here are some answers!
For most of the general population it is known as Halloween and is a night for dressing up, telling ghost stories, having spooky parties, trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving. What most people don't know is that Halloween is actually based on an ancient Celtic holiday known as Samhain (pronounced "sow wan"), which means "summer's end".
(Sculptor Terri Hardin)
It was the end of the Celtic year, starting at sundown on October 31st and going through to sundown November 1st. It was a night to honor loved ones that had passed on since the veil between their realm and ours is at it's thinnest on that night.
On this magical night, glowing jack-o-lanterns, carved from turnips or gourds, were set on porches and in windows to welcome deceased loved ones, but also to act as protection against malevolent spirits. Burning lumps of coal were used inside as a source of light, later to be replaced by candles.

When European settlers, particularly the Irish, arrived in American they found the native pumpkin to be larger, easier to carve and seemed the perfect choice for jack-o-lanterns. Halloween didn't really catch on big in this country until the late 1800's and has been celebrated in so many ways ever since!
Pumpkins are indigenous to the western hemisphere and were completely unknown in Europe before the time of Columbus. In 1584, the French explorer Jacques Cartier reported from the St. Lawrence region that he had found "gros melons", which was translated into English as "ponpions," or pumpkins. In fact, pumpkins have been grown in America for over 5,000 years. Native Americans called pumpkins "isquotersquash."
Did you know that pumpkins are not a vegetable - they are a fruit! Pumpkins, like gourds, and other varieties of squash are all members of the Cucurbitacae family , which also includes cucumbers, gherkins, and melons," (pumpkincarving101.com).
Until next time......the Night Swan Intracoastal Bed & Breakfast bids you adieu!!

2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar

1-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

1-1/2 cups Craisins

Preheat oven to 375. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mixing well. Combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Add to the butter mixture in several additions, mixing well after each. Stir in Craisins and white chocolate chips. For flatter cookies, drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, and flatten before baking. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Cool on wire rack. Makes approximately 2 dozen.
