What are Christmas biscuits?
in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels, the witch version of the Christmas cookies produced Admiral hats, jewels of headbands and gifts such as witch chess sets. Ordinary versions of Christmas biscuits are not so spectacular, but they are a long -term tradition in the UK and Australia and become more popular in the United States. The person pulls at each end of the cracker and when the crack breaks, the small chemical belt goes "pop!" And the content falls out. Christmas biscuits traditionally contain a hat paper party, a small gift, a ball and a joke or an old proverb. The jokes are generally old and most British are immediately recognized because the same jokes are used for many years in Christmas biscuits. It's part of the spell.
As soon as Cracker is open, those who open up will decide who gets a hat and gift. The jokes are read aloud, everyone moans and other cracker is open. Most British people would say that Christmas would not be the same without a nice range of Christmas biscuits that couldopen after completing the Christmas dinner.
Christmas biscuits are a uniquely British invention. They have their origin in French bon-rails, but Tom Smith, inspired by a sound that the protocol, when worthy of fire, experimented with the basic idea and until 1847 had the oldest forms of Christmas biscuits ready for sale.
Christmas biscuits were extended to hold better gifts, and at the beginning of the 20th century, the sons of Tom Smith used them to remember important events such as the 1900 Paris exhibition. They hired the writers to compose jokes and statements suitable for any occasion, and sell these biscuits that could not enough. The tradition continued with avian biscuits, as well as other types of biscuits, still selling rude in the UK. Some companies sell empty biscuits that buyers can fulfill according to their own taste.
Night biscuits are available in the United States, in some gift shops and online. They can stand anywhere from about $ 10 (USD) to $ 30. Tom Smith Christmas Crackers is still in business and makes Christmas cookies for the royal family of Great Britain every year.
