happy 359th day of the year!
it is not yet midnight and the turkey seems to have lulled everyone else to sleep. vegetarians unite!
during our fabulous feast (thanks anne and merran!) we partook in traditional british christmas crackers.
don we now our crafty colourful paper crowns.
while my friends got “recognizable” novelty toys in their cracker (mini-stapler, mini-sewing kit, rubic’s cube key chain, mini-toothbrush, dolphin bracelet, nail clippers, bouncy rubber ball, water gun, shoe horn), i found myself with this item of mystery:
it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…
suggestions so far are: teeth flosser, slingshot, poking device, needle threader… please help identify this mysterious novelty item! is it related to bridge, golf, knitting, karate?
here is an article about the decline in quality of christmas crackers.
anyway, crackers are no fun without cheese…
here is some requisite corny “family friendly” christmas cracker humour…
