Christmas Crackers
Gather ‘round the table
with family and friends.
Find your Christmas cracker.
Let the fun begin!
Each brightly colored tube
holds a special treat.
Grab the twist of paper,
pull, snap … sweet!
Out tumbles trinkets
just for you.
Don your paper crown.
Share a joke or two.
Christmas dinner
would not be complete,
without a Christmas cracker
at each and every seat.
with family and friends.
Find your Christmas cracker.
Let the fun begin!
Each brightly colored tube
holds a special treat.
Grab the twist of paper,
pull, snap … sweet!
Out tumbles trinkets
just for you.
Don your paper crown.
Share a joke or two.
Christmas dinner
would not be complete,
without a Christmas cracker
at each and every seat.
