A BRITISH CHRISTMAS & HOLIDAY SEASON

BRITISH CHRISTMAS FOOD ITEMS & CHRISTMAS CRACKERS

SO WHAT IS A BRITISH "CRACKER"?

In Britain, "Crackers" decorate the Christmas dinner table. You pull the cracker with a partner. Grasp each end and with thumb inside, pressing firmly against the cardboard strip, twist and pull until it snaps. Inside are little gifts, a paper hat, and a motto or joke, much like a Fortune Cookie. The person who gets the longest half keeps the contents. Crackers also make excellent Christmas tree decoration, host/hostess gifts, package tie-ons and the paper hats look wonderfully silly on everybody!

PLEASE NOTE Items ordered after Dec 18 2010 depending on the destination may not arrive in time for Christmas.
