Crackers!
Crackers!
I decided
to check up on the Christmas cracker situation today. I thought we had drawers
full of them, but they’ve all vanished. Maybe they grew legs and pranced away.
I am currently munching on the edible kind of crackers, with cheese. I haven't bought Christmas crackers in a very long time, but there are always plenty at the twins house each Christmas. I have so many Christmas cards left over from several years, I think I will just use them all up this year before buying more.
A timely reminder to start working out what I need this year. I'm not hosting Xmas so no crackers needed. Christmas cards definitely though as I didn't bring any with me when I moved earlier this year.
I checked ours a week ago. Neither are easy to find here. Daughter is getting the crackers..... at one shop in Athens. Xmas cards ordered online. I only need 6. They've got to be sent pretty soon to get overseas before February. 4 euros each at the bookshop here, 70 cents online but the courier takes 2 weeks to deliver.
I keep all my early Christmas stuff in a wicker hamper, which is always the last thing to be packed away, it comes out every year after my birthday, I plan to bring it down from the attic this week. Inside are all my cards, gift bags and other stuff I require before December is here, most were purchased in January sales, I should have crackers in there.
Must have crackers, Christmas cards of course, and Christmas themed serviettes.
ReplyDeleteoh that reminds me of xmas cards. i've bought a few from art exhibitions for family and close freinds. need to sort out the rest.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are crackers - long before Christmas comes round again.
ReplyDeleteI always forget where I put things!
ReplyDeleteYes, you’d better get cracking with those cards.
ReplyDeleteOh, no! - CJ
ReplyDeleteOkay...are you sure that you did not crack all the crackers to get yesterday's jokes?😏
ReplyDeleteDo you have kids? I know my kiddos find everything they aren't supposed to have.

ReplyDeleteI read the title and thought 'bonkers' - how many words are there for not-straight-line-thinking?
ReplyDeleteYou remind me - must check my supply! xx
ReplyDeleteI bought my cards on Friday. No crackers though. I don't think I would be allowed to take them on the 'plane with me.
