Bon-bon Usage
Christmas Crackers are called 'Bon-Bons' in countries such as Australia
and South Africa. Will and Guy are unsure if Christmas cracker
riddles are also called bon-bons in Ireland. These one-liners usually
make us groan rather than laugh out loud.

Christmas Crackers
Will and Guy Suspect British Law is Crackers. The 1875
Explosives Act, currently in force in the UK, apparently considers
Christmas crackers to be covered by this archaic law. This means
that an 'explosive' cracker cannot be sold to minors.
This law was shown up to be so stupid when 22 year old student,
Heather Walsh, attempted to buy a box of 10, for Christmas Day in her
local Marks and Spencer's in York, England. Asked if she was over 16
years old Miss Walsh, who has an University degree was told the
'crackers were classed as explosives', Will and Guy have learned. She
was told by staff that they were 'protecting me by not selling me them
and they suggested that if I was left alone with the crackers I couldn't
be trusted and might blow myself up.'
You couldn't make it up, and we think that this law is definitely
CRACKERS.
More 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
Daniel aged 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.
Daniel 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!
It must have ruined their Christmas and New Year trade!
