I try and find them every year, love the funny crowns, goofy jokes, the pop of the cracker and the little toy inside.

Do you not always have crackers? Maybe its just something we do over here. Christmas isnt the same without crackers on the table!!!

They are hard to find and when you ask sales people if they have any, they look at you like your nuts because many have never heard of them.

So do you all sit around the Christmas table with your crowns on?

Of course!!!

, of course everyone looks silly but its part of the meal!, I have been known to keep mine on all day!

and you have to read the jokes and pretend to find them very funny even though they are alsways rubbish! for example - we went to a christmas function on sunday night - the joke in my cracker was * what do you call an ill whale* answer * moby sick*, I also got a very useful plastic elephant inside my cracker...well i'm sure its useful for something!!!
Its funny - i just thought crackers was one of those things that everybody did!
