The cracker is a small tube wrapped with a Christmas wrapping paper. There is a cracker in front of each plate. You and the person sitting next to you will each grab one end of the cracker and then you will pull it apart. There is a small device inside the cracker which will make a loud “SNAP” as it is pulled apart. Inside the cracker, you will find three items. First of all, there will be a small toy. You will also find a joke. Each person reads his joke aloud. The jokes are often silly but everyone has a great laugh. The last item is a paper crown. It is such a funny site to see everyone, adults and children alike, sitting around the table with a colourful paper crown on.
Here are a few X-mas cracker jokes:
“Waiter! This coffee tastes like mud.”
“Yes sir, it’s fresh ground.”
