Cartier's holiday display in London on Old Bond Street (2006)
was a magical Christmas cracker
oh how I love this!
From the Oxford English Dictionary
Tradition tells of how Tom Smith of London invented crackers in 1847.
He created the crackers as a development of his bon-bon sweets,
which he sold in a twist of paper (the origins of the traditional sweet-wrapper).
As sales of bon-bons slumped, Smith began to come up with new promotional ideas.
His first tactic was the insert "love messages" into the wrappers of the sweets.

Wish he could see how Christmas crackers are still apart of the Christmas holiday.
