CHRISTMAS CRAKERS

• Christmas crackers are a traditional Christmas favorite in the UK. Cracker manufacturers also made large displays, such as horse drawn carriages and sleighs, for the big shops in London. The Christmas Crackers that are used today are short cardboard tubes wrapped in colourful paper.

SANTA CLAUS

• In the 16th Century in Europe, the stories and traditions about St. Nicholas had become very unpopular.

• But someone had to deliver presents to children at Christmas, so in the UK, he became 'Father Christmas', a character from old children's stories; in France, he was then known as Pere Noel.
