how to open christmas crackers

Crackers are a popular Christmas tradition in many countries, and they are typically opened at the dinner table during a festive meal. The process of opening a cracker is simple: you hold the cracker at both ends and pull on it until it snaps apart with a loud pop, releasing a small paper hat, a joke or riddle, and a small toy or other trinket. Some people like to put the paper hat on their head while others simply set it aside. The toy or trinket is often a small gift that can be kept as a souvenir from the holiday season.
