Christmas Crackers - Traditions: I just read tonight that Harrods sold Christmas Crackers in 2005 for approximately $160 per box of six crackers. I don't see crackers listed on their website this year. Hmm.
Well, GillianCard crackers DO cost a little more than MANY of the crackers on the market, they also DO have more fun and treats than MOST crackers on the market! But, really, I don't think they will every sell for $25.00 per cracker!!!
This week I begin preparing the puzzles for the crackers. In keeping with my overall plan to try each year to draw closer to the original idea of fun gifts, treats and games, I will be using many puzzles available from a turn of the century puzzle collection. Some of them are SO hard! People must have spent whole evenings back then figuring out these conundrums.
I also read tonight (the www is SUCH a source of information!) that people often open their crackers at table AFTER Christmas dinner. This is the FIRST I have heard of THAT tradition. We always opened ours when there was no food on the table except perhaps the chilled tomato juice Mom served in tall cornflower cut glasses.
