Just imagine Christmas Dinner is almost ready!
The table is laid, the tree is glittering in the background and there waiting on the table are this years Christmas Crackers waiting to be pulled!
It's tradition in our family to always have crackers ... cue the paper hats and of course the jokes! Will they be good ones or groaners!
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
In todays post aptly titled 'inside six Christmas Crackers' I'm sharing six jokes that could just be inside the Crackers this year!
How does Good King Wencelas like his pizzas?
Deep pan, crisp and even!
Why are Christmas trees bad at knitting?
They always drop their needles!
What do you get if you eat Christmas decorations?
Tinsilitus!
Which athlete is the warmest at Christmas?
The long jumper!
What kind of ball doesn’t bounce?
A snowball.
What did Rudolph say after he crashed the sleigh?
Oh, deer!
Well, are you chuckling, or groaning? Perhaps a mixture of both!
Have you got a favourite?
~ Enjoy your day~
All the best Jan

So fun! We've never done crackers. I wish they had them around here.
Hee hee I enjoyed the jokes, my favourite is the first one and how Good King Wencelas likes his pizza.
Enjoy the season Jan and the crackers.
Will you share a picture of you in a paper hat? They never stay on well.!

Hello Tom and many thanks for your comment
Here in the UK it is my understanding that there is no age restriction on using Christmas crackers, but it is illegal in the UK to sell crackers to anyone under the age of 12.
Of course it is MOST IMPORTANT to ALWAYS take care and be extra careful with them especially when there are young children around. The novelty items inside are often small and can be choking hazards, particularly for children aged three and under.
We, as a family do enjoy them. They are part of the family tradition and there is almost a competition about whose joke will be the worst and cause us all to groan...
It's mid-week already, I hope the rest of your week goes well.
Take care.
All the best Jan
Groaning but in a good way. :)
Genial te mando un beso.
My only concern about these and with fireworks 🎆 is the noise they make and that they scare 😱 animals, both pets and wildlife.
Christmas crackers are a mainstay on my Christmas table, my great-grandchildren are now sharing the tradition :)
I like the silly jokes and toys, especially the curling fish, do they still have those ?
Paper hat wearing is not option :)
Thank you for sharing your pictures, they bring back so many memories of Christmas in England,
Merry Christmas dear friend.

Love the jokes, I sent them to my kids.
:-)) Thanks for the laugh, Jan!
Why are Christmas trees bad at knitting?
They always drop their needles!
They're all good!!!
A good laugh is always welcome.
This morning I have to take the bus to the weekly market and go for a walk while I'm there, and I'll look at the Christmas window displays. Then I'll have finished everything and I can relax!
I hope you don't have too stressful a day, hugs, Elke
The Tinsilitus is my fav!!!! Oh, we first found those crackers 2006 in Perth, Australia - they still not have arrived in Germany. Thank you for the memories - I´ll sure post a pic for Christmas! :-)
Buone feste a te Jan!
They are fun, Jan.
Thanks for the laughs. These are great cracker jokes. :)
Love the jokes, thanks for the laughs!
Take care, have a wonderful day!
Ha, ha, these are fun!
Merry Christmas!!
Christmas crackers aren't usually a tradition here, but it must be quite fun.
Next Monday, my husband and I are flying to Copenhagen to spend Christmas with my son Pedro. I take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas 🎄 filled with joy, health, peace and love and a great New Year 🎉
Christmas hugs and all the best for you my friend
We certainly enjoy Christmas crackers. A great tradition.
Happy Christmas and God bless you and yours, Jan.
I'm laughing--these are great. The knitting one is cute but Good King Wenceslas is my favorite.
Boa noite Jan. Biscoitos salgados são deliciosos. Sem muito sal, primeiramente.
Scopro oggi, grazie al tuo post, questa tradizione dei crackers di Natale.
Molto bella e originale
Jan - I am definitely chuckling! I am also grateful because I like to have a few holiday jokes on hand when I am working at our local ski resort - whether talking to people in lines or on a ski lift, it helps with the overall mood! My favorite is the one about Good King Wencelas!

I discovered this Christmas cracker tradition today, thanks to your post.
Very beautiful and original.
Fun. And I'm with King Wencelas. Deep and crisp and even
I chuckled :)
Jan wasn't familiar with this British tradition. I looked it up and see that they are part of the Christmas table's decoration and fun: they pop open with a bang, come with a paper hat and a joke, and create a cheerful, family-friendly atmosphere.
Thanks for the laughs, Jan. :)
Good jokes.
I’m definitely chuckling
Snowball. That's a great one. I'll share that riddle with my friends. Thanks, Jan.
