Christmas crackers

Christmas crackers are an integral part of Christmas celebrations. A cracker consists of a cardboard tube wrapped in a brightly decorated  paper. The cracker is pulled by two people. The split is accompanied by a small bang or snapping sound.
Crackers are typically pulled at the Christmas dinner table or at parties. In one version of the cracker tradition, the person with the larger portion of cracker empties the contents from the tube and keeps them. Typically these contents are a coloured paper hat or crown, a small toy and a joke on a small strip of paper.
You can make a Christmas cracker following the instructions in the video. Try it. It's quite easy.
