When they pull open the cracker, they receive a party hat, a joke and a surprise gift inside. Discover an enchanting assortment of Christmas crackers and your British Christmas favourites.

Nancy Churnin, theater critic for the Dallas Morning News and author, will be at the Very British Open House signing copies of her new book, The Queen and the First Christmas Tree. Her new book tells the true story of the queen who introduced the Christmas tree to her adopted country. Queen Charlotte brought her family’s festive holiday yule bough from Germany to England. While planning a Christmas Day party in 1800 at Windsor castle for over 100 children, she realized a single bough isn’t enough. So, she brought in the whole tree instead, making it the first known Christmas Tree in England. The story tells a little-known fact about a favourite holiday tradition.
