Christmas Crackers

Christmas Crackers

Are a typical British Christmas tradition. Crackers are a cardboard cylinder wrapped in wrapping paper in the shape of a candy. The tradition is that two people pull each end of the cylinder and the one who gets to keep the largest piece when it breaks, gets the gift inside. Christmas crackers are a nice souvenir to take from the country in case you can go to the UK.
