Then everyone sit around the tree as someone tells the favorite story, "A Christmas Carol.“ On Christmas Day, everyone sits down and finds a colorful Christmas cracker on their dinner plate. A Christmas cracker is a paper. Then they wear a paper hat at dinner, small trinkets and they tell a riddle to everyone at the table.
