Traditional Holiday/Christmas Crackers

THE HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS CRACKERS:
Originating in mid-nineteenth century England, Crackers have become a beloved Holiday tradition for adults and children alike. Thomas Smith, a London confectioner, is credited with being the inventor of this fun party favor. To promote his bon bon sweets, he began inserting enduring messages into the wrappers, but this was met with only limited success. But inspiration struck around 1847, while Thomas heard a log crackle and pop in his fireplace. He added this surprise "pop" to his wrapping, and the cracker was born. Eventually, the sweet was replaced by a small gift and a paper hat was added, and the message, joke or fortune has remained. Crackers provide a memorable start to any celebration.
