The Magic Christmas Cracker.

[real mad hatter]

Yeh,Our crist

don't get me wrong it tasted good and everyone liked it but one piece was enough for everyone. Yeh, Our Christmas pudding is heavy going,usually one slice is enough for me as long as there's lashings of brandy custard with it.

Mmm, roast turkey, roast potatoes, sprouts, maple roasted parsnips, little sausages wrapped in bacon, cranberry jelly, followed by Christmas pudding and custard or mince pies with brandy butter (or both), or a trip to WDW and no reservation for lunch and have to eat chicken nuggets and fries. Not a hard decision (and I love my Christmas lunch), I will take WDW anytime!!

Hate parsnips,the little chipolatas in bacon I love ( devils on horseback ) hate cranberry jelly,love sage & onion stuffing,hate sprouts unless their cooked al dente with Canadian bacon.

Sprouts always al dente in this house, hate mushy veg!! Urgh
But no WDW for me this year, will have to make do with my very Disney covered Christmas Tree!!

A Christmas cracker looks like a big tootsie roll, you pull the ends and it "cracks" when it opens there is a prize inside and usually a hat or crown of sorts. It is part of the Christmas tradition done at the end of the Christmas meal in the UK. I have seen them for sale in the US at Williams Sanoma Stores.

You can buy them in the states at all kinds of stores. I've gotten them at Marshalls and TJ Max. I've seen them in lots of specialty stores in the malls. I keep them in a Christmas basket to give guests as they leave. Depending on the price, they can have fairly decent little trinkets to junk. They are still pretty and can be used beside a place setting at dinner.

okay well if I had a Christmas cracker I would want to find my surprise was a stay at Cinderella's castle too or at least that King suite at the POLY..
