 Christmas Cracker

I'm called a Christmas cracker cuz

When pulled apart I send a crack.

Then the pulling me apart does

Present my gifts that I give back,

Colorful crown shaped hat and joke

The winning puller gets to keep.

I'm quite a hit with younger folk

For Christmas fun that I do heap.

My kind have been around a while.

A couple hundred years we've brought

A Christmas chuckle and a smile

As sounds of crack are heard a lot.

Once, Norman Rockwell painted me,

Being pulled by young he and she.
