I'm wondering if there are any states or areas of the US where Christmas Crackers are common as part of the Christmas celebration. I finally managed to find some at a Christmas shop here in Massachusetts, but it took a lot of looking.

Gotta have those wonderful crackers!

I see them all over the place. Pier One, Grocery Store, a few department stores. I know Macys had some this past weekend.

I have them every year for Christmas. My grandfather lived in England during WWII and loved the tradition so we always had some.

usually two people pull on either end and it makes a cracking or popping noise and the cracker rips apart and all the stuff falls out....

Crackers are a Canadian tradition!! I remember sending some to Gene for his family at Christmas. I told him they HAD to wear the crowns as well. (Well, you DO eh?) They took a picture of their family, in their paper crowns....was classic! That's a Christmas tradition I don't want to abandon. (Oh yes, btw, they had never HEARD about them nor seen them before!)
