Punkie Night 2023

Punkie Night is observed on October 26, 2023. Punkie Night is an English custom practised on the last Thursday of October, in Somerset in England. Children will march around with a jack o'lantern, singing a song which goes: "It's Punkie Night tonight / It's Punkie Night tonight / Adam and Eve would not believe / It's Punkie Night tonight." There are some variants of this old rhyme which also include these lines: "Give me a candle, give me a light If you don't, you'll get a fright", or alternatively: "Give me a candle give me light If you haven't a candle, a penny's all right". No one knows how the custom originated, although it is almost certainly linked with Hallowe'en. (With material from: Wikipedia)
