What is Christmas cracker?
A '''Christmas cracker''' is a hollow card tube covered with brightly coloured [[paper]] twisted on each end. When pulled apart, it makes a pop sound.

It is generally used at [[Christmas]] celebrations, usually shared by two family members to compete by tugging on each end until it breaks apart, the person who retains the tube containing the gift gets to keep the gift. It is a [[Great Britain|British]] tradition which started back in the 1840s. {{religion-stub}} [[Category:Christmas]]
