Parker and Ethan are experiencing a few Christmas traditions that are unique to the area where they are living. To share some of it with the family, we're going to try to post a few things here.
One interesting thing we've been introduced to is the Christmas Cracker. For some reason, these are beloved by children all over England. At dinners, parties and other get-togethers people pull these things apart - which makes a "POP!" and exposes the contents (usually a crown, a joke, and a small toy).
After opening all of our presents this morning, Parker and Ethan got to open a few of these crackers. First they pulled one apart:
Then they put on the crown and try to figure out the joke - 'What did the beaver say to the tree? Nice knawing you!'. In this picture they are wearing the crowns, displaying the joke and the toy (the red thing the size of Parker's fingernail).
We'll post a note later with more info. I think we'll try to tell you about some of the new things we've eaten here at Christmastime.
