Apart from X’Mas decoration, X’Mas tree and Advent Calendar, there is one more interesting thing in the UK. That is “X’Mas crackers”. It is used to pulled at the Christmas dinner table or at parties. According to Wikipedia, it is not widely popular in the whole world. It is more like a traditional X’Mas play in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. X’Mas crackers is a cardboard tube wrapped in a brightly decorated X’Mas wrapping paper. Inside the cracker, there are a color paper hat, a small toy and other trinket and a motto. Then, you need to wear that paper hat during your meal and say the trinket to everyone. I can’t wait to see what my small toy is this time in my X’Mas cracker.
