The Pixie sez to the Jack O'Lantern...**********
"Beware of a witch and a black hoodo
For they are a-coming to
capture you
If you cross your fingers
and count thirteen
They won't touch you on
Hallowe'en"

I mentioned in the previous post that the Irish, along with the Scots, brought Halloween to America. Irish legends of pixies, brownies, elves and sprites found their way into early 20th century postcards. Here are some examples. Enjoy!
What are those elves brewing up?
Dueling BrowniesAnd some Irish turnip Jack O'Lanterns!
"There are elves and
black cats all about
Pip! Pip!
You'd better look out!"
But they seem pretty friendly!
These brownies don't look very scary to me!
