\nI admit Halloween has gotten too crazed and too commercial.<\/p>\n

All the candy fueled hoopla and rush to find the perfect costume often gives me a \u201cwhopper\u201d of a headache.<\/p>\n

But if you can manage past all that, there\u2019s also a positive side.<\/p>\n

Halloween is a terrific time for kids (of all ages) to tap into our creativity\u00a0and get inspired by all the magical, mystical things around us.<\/p>\n

Case in point:\u00a0The Great Jack O’ Lantern Blaze <\/a><\/strong>at Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton on Hudson, Westchester.<\/p>\n

(Under an hour from Manhattan by train).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This amazing spectacle (over 5-years running) features over 4,000 individually carved and illuminated jack o’ lanterns placed in an idyllic\u00a018th century riverside estate.<\/p>\n

There are underwater garden pumpkins, spaceships and aliens, dinosaurs- every form imaginable\u2026.and quite possibly that you never imagined.<\/p>\n

The sheer beauty, variety, and creativity of all these blazing jack o’ lanterns arranged in unusual combinations and configurations- and all in one place will take your breath away.<\/p>\n

And perhaps inspire your own carving\u2026and creativity.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your twist?<\/p>\n

How do you get your creative juices flowing this Halloween?<\/p>\n
