Are you stalking me?

Traditions to gulag, comrade.

underrated masterpiece

AB: Ah don’t know sis. Maybe there’s a reason everypony carves on pumpkins. It ain’t like pumpkins are BIGGER and EASIER to carve!

Tradition? Shoulda been potatoes or turnips.

Am I the only one who thinks this is actually pretty cool?
 
 
@Antonyourknee  
I’d assume do it like the night before and use them for apple-bobbing, and then you compost them.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer  

AB: But that’s the problem, sis! We got ain’t no hands!!

Pssst! People who don’t like tradition don’t even know tradition!

AB: But everyone else carves pumpkins!  
AJ: Everyone else is doing it wrong.

“Well what’s the point of tradition of I ain’t even good at it? Look at these, if there’s one place they belong— it’s in the trash!”
 
“Oh nonsense, sugar cube. Just because it’s traditional doesn’t mean you have to be good at it. If anything with apple carving, you’re supposed to have fun with it.”
 
“I know, but compared to yours mine look like a big ol’ accident.”
 
“Applebloom, listen here. When I was you age, you would be apple to tell the difference between my carvings or a feast for a family of worms. Just give it enough practice and time and I know you’ll get better!”
 
“Ya really mean it?”
 
“Ab-So-Lutely!”
 
“Heh, gee thanks AJ… Hey, do you have any photos of those apple carvings around? I wanna see it for myself, I think I need mahself a good.”
 
“Curious little seed aren’t ya? C’mon, there should be an album with ’em somewhere around here.”

Wouldn’t the apples quickly start rotting if their insides are exposed to air?

Daw, AJ’s Stetson and Applebloom’s bow looks adorably festive!

AB: But Applejack…
 
AJ: Afraid of a little hands on work? Oh I’m Apple Bloom and I have to honor my ancestors! Boo hoo hoo!

Is she sad because she’s bored? or tired? or not enjoying mutilating apples?

Tradition is peer pressure from dead people.

Tradition is bullshit

Tradition sucks ass
