What's It Wednesday #195
This has been a rough week. A friend fell suddenly gravely ill and is really struggling right now. So this post is a break from the worrying and praying.
My cousin was recently visiting us from the UK and promised to bring Christmas Crackers. I was so excited to get them. I know my family and friends will be so excited to receive them at the dinner table. I mean who doesn't like a nice surprise?
There will be different Christmas Crackers at each Sunday meal between now and Christmas and the Christmas dinner.
It's a decorative and colorful tube that you pull at both ends. When the cracker breaks you hear a "pop". The kids love it.
After the cracker pops a little gift falls out. It may be a small trinket, toy, joke, or riddle.
Christmas crackers can also be made at home. I saw some super cute ones on Pinterest. But for now I will keep asking family members to bring them across the pond.

I hope your friend is healing and I like your reminder about the Christmas crackers or poppers, that you pull and a tiny gift comes out. I think I will buy some, I saw some at a store in town.
So sorry about your friend. Healing thoughts. Love the poppers! Such pretty plates. I do love peacocks. Thanks as always for hosting. xo
Hello Paula. This is sad and worrying news for you. I hope your friend makes a full recovery in time for Christmas. Thankyou for the linkup with all that you must have on your plate. It's one of my favourites. Mimi xxx

Sorry to hear about your friend, I hope he or she is better soon. I have never had a Christmas Cracker before but I do know what they are and they sound like fun! Thank you for hosting the party :o)

Thanks for hosting in spite of your heavy heart. Hope your friend is on the mend soon. It is difficult to be ill at any time but it is especially devastating at Christmas.
I am sorry that your friend is not well and the heaviness you must feel. Hopefully there will be a positive change very soon. Thank you for hosting this party. If I don't 'talk' to you before Christmas, I wish you a Joyous Christmas and Happy New Year!
Sad to hear about your friend. I know this will weigh heavy on your heart. Keeping you in my thoughts.
Thanks for hosting with all that is going on in your world.
Hi Paula, So sorry to hear about your friend. I will remember her in my prayers. Keep us posted on her, k? I have meant to go to the party store and look for some crackers but have not. Now you have inspired me to do so, tomorrow!
Thanks so much for hosting and have a nice weekend.

Paula, thank you for hosting such a nice party. Your table is so elegant and understated. I absolutely love it!
I'm so sorry your friend is ill, Paula, and hope she will soon be better.
We love Christmas crackers at our house, too. I have some on my tablescape right now in the dining room. :) Your cousin is lucky; I'd love to see England at Christmas! Thank you for hosting and have a good week.
Hugs,

Im sorry to hear about your friend and hope she be well.
The crackers sound really fun and festive.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday with friends and family!
Years ago I read an article in Scientific American magazine that people who are prayed for (even when they don't know they are being prayed for) recover 25% faster and more completely than people who aren't the subject of prayers. So, with all the prayers and good wishes you have elicited for your friend (allow me to add mine), he or she is certain to be much better soon. You are a good friend and a great link party hostess. Thank you for making time for us show-offs when you have so much else occupying your attention.
Thanks so much for the party!!
Hugs,
Debbie

Sorry to hear about your friend. Sad times. I send prayers to them.
Do you not generally have Christmas crackers in America? Our ones in Australia have silly paper hats which I hate but have to wear....hmmm.....
I love those plates with the bird on them. Have a lovely weekend ahead. take care.
So sorry to hear about your friend. Sending prayers and hugs your way. I love your Christmas crackers. I wish they were readily available here as they are so fun. Thank you for taking the time to host.

It's tuff when you have a dear friend or family member sick this time of year when we should all be celebrating Christ's Birth and enjoying good food and company.
I feel your pain.
