CHRISTMAS CRACKERS!!

2011-11-26T13:02:00.000-08:00

Christmas crackers or bon-bons are an integral part of Christmas celebrations in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. They are also popular in Ireland. A cracker consists of a cardboard tube wrapped in a brightly decorated twist of paper, making it resemble an oversized sweet-wrapper. The cracker is pulled by two people, and, much in the manner of a wishbone, the cracker splits unevenly. The split is accompanied by a small bang or snapping sound produced by the effect of friction on a chemically impregnated card strip (similar to that used in a cap gun).

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. In another each person will have their own cracker and will keep its contents regardless of whose end they were in. Typically these contents are a coloured paper hat or crown; a small toy, small plasticmodel or other trinket and a motto, a joke or piece of trivia on a small strip of paper.

HALLOWEEN IS COMING ON OCTOBER 31st!!!

2011-10-20T11:47:00.000-07:00

Halloween is celebrated onOctober 31st every year. The holiday began as a Celtic festival from Irelandcalled Samhain. Halloween became more popular world wide with the start of theChristian holiday called All Saints Day. Halloween is traditionally a holidaythat is meant to ward off evil spirits. During the time of the Celtictraditions, people would carve out scary faces and figures in giant turnips,place a candle inside, and set in their windows to scare away evil ghosts andenemies on Halloween. Nowadays the turnips havebeen replaced by orange pumpkins, but the carving tradition is still continued,as well as lighting the pumpkins on the night of Halloween.

The traditionalcolors that are used for most decorations for Halloween are black and orange.There are certain characters that are associated with Halloween: ghosts,witches, skeletons, vampires, werewolves, bats and black cats.

Many people view Halloween as a time ofinnocent fun. Children love to dress up as their favorite characters. They willgo door to door saying the infamous words "trick or treat". Manyadults also love Halloween, because it gives them a chance to let loose and actsilly.

Every year in the U.S.A. alone, millions ofdollars are spent on Halloween goods. Halloween is the second highest grossingmoney maker outside of Christmas. That’smaybe the real dark side of Halloween.
