Step #1: Select & purchase pumpkin
"Zis! Zis!"
Step #2: Gut said pumpkin. If bored and have plenty of time, play fun game where one person takes pumpkin guts out of the pumpkin and puts them in a bowl, and the other person takes pumpkin guts out of the bowl and puts them in the pumpkin. Consider this a total success because both of us sit in the same place for forty five minutes solid!
Step #3: Remember that you haven't made a Jack-O-Lantern in 15 years and wonder if there might be a trick to it. Do some quick google searches and discover that yes, there are some tricks, but it must be like riding a bicycle because without even thinking about it, you angled the knife in while cutting out the top.
Step #4: Successfully complete your first Jack-O-Lantern in 15 years. Be surprised by it actually not being a complete and total failure. Go out every evening to put new tealights into it, even though you live on dead-end street and no one can see said Jack-O-Lantern anyway.
Step #5: Be so thrilled with yourself for completing Jack-O-Lantern that you forget you bought two pumpkins. Throw out moldy old pumpkin.
