Another Halloween decoration reminds me of one of my favorate tales of the origin of the Jack-o’-lantern. That story goes that a mischevious fellow named Jack finally died and was sent to his eternal reward. Unfortunately, his shenanigans precluded entry into heaven. Furthermore, his practical jokes on the Devil made him not welcome in the otherworld, so he was doomed to wander through eternity alone in the darkness of night carrying nothing but a small lantern. Actually, that seems to me to really beat the hell out of the alternative.
Happy Halloween! Stay safe tonight, little goblins!
