Each year at some point in the festivities, everyone stops, gets a popper, and pulls the ends until it pops. The poppers we choose typically have a crown, a joke, and a small toy inside.
Picking out the kind of popper, the pattern, is a big job.
It is something so small, but reminds me of so many Christmases before. I'm not sure when the tradition started in our family, but I have great memories of my grandfather wearing a silly paper crown and reading and laughing at his own jokes like it was a funniest thing he'd ever heard.
