Christmas Crackers

I do already still have a packet of snaps from somewhere. It's very disappointing when they don't work, so I bought them as sort of consolations!

Oh yes! Must have the bang. Making your own sounds great.

I bought some snaps from ebay so we'll still get the bang.

But it's the bang. And the awful joke. Not to mention the hat! (why am I the only one to actually put it on my head? )

And they are very pretty.

I would like the opportunity to be pleased at the gift, yes. I decided it was time for a change when I found the stash of uncollected cracker gifts in my sideboard the other day. I would like something in them that people want to keep.

We're going to make our crackers with the children on Christmas Eve. There will be a chocolate Santa in each one just in case we don't have enough to eat The jokes will be written by ourselves so they will be exceedingly gringeworthy and in our son's case probably won't make sense as he hasn't cracked how jokes work yet

Does anyone really pull crackers for the gift?

That's a good idea. I think I shall, they are such a let-down at times and Amazon and eBay have some good odds and ends.

janerowena, buy attractive but cheap crackers and then open them up to add your own extra gifts. Much easier than making your own, and includes hats and jokes.

Thanks for the promise of jokes, vampire, I look forward to a chuckle each day.

I'd really like some recommendations for good but not too expensive crackers!

do we have to?

DH suggests 'flue'!
