Christmas crackers:  It is claimed that Tom Smith, a baker of wedding cakes from London, invented the Christmas cracker probably in the 1840’s. On a visit to Paris he saw some sugar almonds [bon-bons] wrapped in twisted paper. On his return to England Tom designed a cracker shape; also inspired by the sound of logs crackling in a fire, and founded a cracker manufacturers in 1847, which still exists today – possibly the largest manufacturer in the world.

Father Christmas Calls

Alex was five; all his Christmas presents were always signed, 'from Father Christmas.'

A little while after Alex had opened all his presents on Christmas morning, we became aware that he was looking quite down in the mouth for no obvious reason.

'What's the matter, Al?' I asked.

'Ummmm', replied Alex slowly, 'I really hoped that you and Mummy would give me something for Christmas'.

Out of the mouths... Christmas Story

Jamie age 4, returned from Sunday school with a new perspective on the Christmas story.

He had learned all about the wise men from the east who brought gifts to the baby Jesus.

Jamie was so excited he just had to tell his parents, 'I learned in Sunday School today all about the very first Christmas. There wasn't a Santa Claus way back then, so these three blokes on camels had to deliver all the toys. And Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with his nose so bright wasn't there yet, so they had to have this big light in the sky to find their way around'.

Christmas Humour - Disaster at the Restaurant

Passing the Mayfair Chinese Restaurant on the corner of Castle Road (the premises where Peter Sellers was born) today 3rd January, on my way back from seeing Sheridan, I saw that there was a handwritten notice on the glass in the door. It read and looked like this:

CLOSED

KITCHEN ON FIRE

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Don't know how long the notice had been there, but I did not see any smoke, fire engines or road closures!

Must have ruined their Christmas and New Year trade!
