Old Fashioned, Hand-Wrapped, Christmas Crackers for the holidays
are truly handmade. Brightly wrapped in double layers of tissue with
a printed over-wrap, each cracker contains many seasonal treats much
like the original Christmas crackers from the Victorian Tradition.
If you are ordering several crackers, each one will have a different
joke and puzzle for added fun and variety! Two Carols are included
and, depending on the size of the order, I arrange them so at least
3 or 4 of the crackers contain the same song for group caroling!

Holiday Song & Carol Sheets |
My
Customers write...
.... Your Christmas crackers brought joy, laughter and ooohs
and ahh's to our Christmas morning! We loved the printed tissue
crowns and all wore them well into the afternoon. So much nicer
than the usual solid color crowns! Mine doubled as a chef's hat!
I wore it while I prepared Christmas dinner. It was very festive
with the green and red holly print!
We took turns reading our jokes. We hung our little ornaments on
the tree and raced to see who could complete their crossword puzzle
first. We all agreed...our son's fiance achieved the loudest
"crack" when we popped them open. Thank you so much...we
thoroughly enjoyed them! Can hardly wait to see next year's version!

Gillian, My order arrived at 6:00 this evening!
