English Christmas

[JanieDough]

Do English people wear paper crowns at Christmas? I've seen this in a few movies about English people.

We only do it if we're feeling festive. :3

When my parents were still alive we had a family christmas at their place. My niece married a Brit and it was a ritual to open up these things i would call a popper. You pulled on each end and it made a pop. There would be a small surprise inside along with a paper tiara of some sort.

Tradition here too. They're called Bon Bons and AA is right. You pull an end each and the winner gets the paper crown...a little toy, and a joke thats inside. If you DONT wear your crown, you're a piker Its just not Christmas without Bon Bons

 

[Springsteen]

Ah we call them crackers. You usually get a party hat, toy and a joke inside it.

And yeah, we do wear the party hats.

 

[Abcinthia]

I used to open crackers and wear the paper crown on my birthday as well as on Christmas.

 

[Zorak]

Yeah, they're a way of spotting the people who take themselves too seriously.

Scottish people also call them crackers. We usually get a rubbish joke and a crappy plastic toy of sorts and we also wear the paper hat :tooth

 

[CaptainTurtles]

Every bloody christmas, yeah!
Pull a cracker, crap plastic toy, terrible joke and a paper crown, love it!

Look at you being all right and stuff

The fight for southern independence has never been more heartfelt
I love the damn rain, but the heat...I mean I must sweat a bucket a day. I know I drink enough to produce at least that!

How are you prick? Miss you too

This sounds like so much fun. Do you guys have stockings too - that you hang over the fireplace and fill with things?

hahaha!!! SO right!

I used to put my stocking on the end of my bed. My mum and dad would then fill them so when we woke early in the morning, we can sit in bed and open some presents.
