| | Christmas cracker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Crackers were invented by London confectioner Tom Smith, in 1847, as a development of his bon bon sweets, which he sold in a twist of paper (the origins of the traditional sweet-wrapper). | | | The Oplatki is an unleavened cracker broken with a blessing during Christmas Wigilia celebrations in Polish and Lithuanian culture. | | | The Christmas cracker is an integral part of British Christmas celebrations. |
