crackers are odd -
the silly paper hat, the silly joke,
the silly motto, the silly toy. . .
but we pull them,
we love the BANG!
and we enjoy them all the same

crackers were invented by a guy called Tom Smith (find the history here) and I'm glad for that - they are so silly and trite, but it is quite wonderful to have crackers at Christmas. . .

. . .and I like them with cheese too
