Chistmas crackers on Christmas card
On of the joys of Christmas is to pull on a Christmas Cracker or Bon Bon with family or friend. You know, the sort that makes a small craaaaack noise as you pull on it, disgorging a paper party hat, a small toy, perhaps a lolly, a little piece of paper with a joke or saying, and maybe a movie ticket.
Christmas Bon Bons with bon mots? Here is one from Thursday evening:
QUOTE: In matters of style, swim with the current. In matters of principle, stand like a rock. (Thomas Jefferson)
A memory from childhood – receiving a large bonbon as a gift from my father, containing an assortment of small toys, some of which kept on being fun for years. Now that’s a bonne memoire (!)
Wishing all who venture here a very Happy Christmas …
