So, where did Christmas crackers come from? A baker who wanted candies to go boom. A son who loved paper hats. And a world that needed a little noise and nonsense.
They are silly, wasteful, and utterly pointless. And that’s exactly why we treasure them. They remind us that joy doesn’t need a reason.
Next time you pull a cracker, salute Tom Smith. He gave us the gift of a tiny, ridiculous explosion. Wear that paper crown with pride. You earned it.
Now, go pull a cracker. Snap. Happy Christmas.
