Do you buy Christmas crackers to pull at Christmas,when you eat your dinner or do you never buy Christmas crackers? We always buy crackers at Christmas as the children love them and Christmas is not the same if you do not have a cracker to pull.

I have never lived anywhere that these are available, or that they are a tradition. I have heard of them, though. Is there a surpise in them or something? Tell us a little more about them.

You pull them so they make a snap noise and inside them you have a joke,a hat and a small gift like a whistle or a ring,my children love them.

Hi jugs I have never heard of them. I was reading one of the others and saw where you commented on what they was. That sounds pretty neat. I wonder if I could order them. If you know of someplace that I could get them let me know..Okay.. Have a nice day and keep smiling.

I think I have read in some craft books how to make them at home. It is interesting to hear from someone who actually buys and uses them.

I would love to know if I could order them for here. You girls let me know if you know of a company that would ship them to us.

I'm not sure if I know exactly what you are talking about or not. I always buy all kinds of snacks and whatever they have out for Christmas. I love Christmas the most and it is just not Christmas without alot of those goodies.

It's not an American thing, but we do get them sometimes. There are import stores that we can get them at.

We always buy a big box as the grandkids love them.Wearing the hats and those little toys are the best bit of christmas.It is one of the traditional things that should be kept going.like writing the christmas letter or christmas pud.
