Happy Halloween! When lighting your Jack O'Lantern this year, try flameless alternatives like glow sticks (eerie), battery-powered tea lights (some models even flicker like the real thing), or battery-powered fairy lights (for a neo-bohemian look). Big fires start small, especially under the current weather conditions: don't let a candle fire ruin your festivities!
