Why are pumpkins carved during thanksgiving?

We do not carve pumpkins for Thanksgiving - but there is quite a bit of controversy about Halloween. Here is a good indicator if Christainity... A woman was asked by a coworker, "What is it like to be a Christian?" The coworker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin." God picks you from the patch, brings you in, & washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top & scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, & greed. Then He carves in you a new smiling face & puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."

They are carved to make Pumpkins Pies.

We usually carve pumpkins for Halloween, not Thanksgiving. I'm not sure how the custom originated. I do it with my kids just for fun. It's something fun we can do together and then we set it out for a decoration during Halloween.

I have only carved pumpkins at Halloween around October 31st. I don't think it is a Christian thing, just an american thing

I have no idea
