Eat Healthy Food

Christmas crackers or bon-bons are an integral part of Christmas celebrations in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, other Commonwealth countries, a cracker consists of a cardboard tube wrapped in a brightly decorated twist of paper, making it resemble an oversized sweet-wrapper.

The cracker is pulled by two people and, much in the manner of a wishbone, the cracker splits unevenly. In one version of the tradition the person with the larger portion of cracker empties the contents from the tube and keeps them.

In another each person will have their own cracker and will keep its contents regardless of whose end they were in. Typically these contents are a colored paper hat or crown; a small toy or other trinket and a motto, a joke or piece of trivia on a small strip of paper. Catering Crackers are often pulled before or after Christmas dinner or at parties.

Assembled or Designer crackers are typically sold in boxes of three to twelve. These typically have different designs usually with red, green and gold colors. Making crackers from scratch using the tubes from used toilet rolls and tissue paper is a common Commonwealth activity for children. Catering Crackers are usually bulk packed.
