A special tradition in my country

In Britain is very famous the Christmas cracker tradition.

Crackers are small cardboard tubes covered with wrapped


paper. Two people pull on the wrapped paper ends. When the
cracker breaks, it makes a popping noise (from friction on a
narrow strip of paper that has a chemical compound on it).
Inside the cardboard tube are paper hats, small gifts, and a motto or joke. There is normally a Cracker next to each
plate on Christmas dinner table.

In a group, the traditional way to pull a cracker, is crossing your arms and pulling a whole circle of crackers around
the table. Everyone hold their cracker in their right hand and pulls their neighbours cracker with the free left hand.
You pull the cracker with the person besides you, so it tears into
two pieces. Then the one who gets the bigger part is lucky
enough to find the surprise.
