The legend also said it is a beloved holiday tradition. Really?

holiday crackers, yes ! brilliant !! with goofy jokes inside them and hats. we don't have crackers here (you have no idea how i wish we did) but we do have chocolates wrapped in shiny, colorful foil with fringy ends, with a little slip of paper with a (bad) joke on it inside the wrapper. now we just need to find a way to make silly hats fit in them, too...
