Had a heck of holiday vacation this last week and can't wait to get right back into it this weekend. It's always hard to crawl through the week between Christmas and New Years; regardless of how much I have to do. Which is plenty. But, I had to mention these great little party trinkets that someone at the Christmas dinner handed out this year. I couldn't find the darn things on the internet because I kept looking under 'poppers'. Seems the little buggers are called crackers. Whatever you call them, they are a lot of fun.
Before you actually dig into your meal you and the person sitting next to you each grab an end of a popp...er...cracker and pull. A little charge inside goes off and blows the paper apart. When that happened, I thought the excitement was over. Explosives before your meal? Right on! But no! There's more. They are filled with a paper crown (of varying colors) a joke or riddle to share with the group and a random toy, game or useful item. I got this sweet pen. My daughter got a Parcheesi game about the size of two thumbnails placed side by side.
We went out and scored some more to hand out to friends this New Years. Yeah, these are the type of things that excite me. Carry on.
Morrison out.
