If you're not ready for Halloween, you've still got some time to carve your turnip.
Long before the pumpkin became the Halloween decoration of choice, people across the Britain carved ghoulish faces into turnips and placed them near doorways to frighten away evils spirits, the charity said.
The practice originated from an Irish folk tale about a man named Jack who, after trying to trick the devil, was cursed to roam the earth with only a burning coal held inside a hollowed-out turnip. - Carve a turnip
So if you didn't have big plans for this weekend, maybe you do now.
