Christmas crackers, popular in England, were invented in 1860 when a confectioner added a small explosive to his wrapped candies so that they would "pop" when opened. Over time, the crackers evolved into cardboard tubes filled with any number of treats and trinkets.

Legend has it that the pickle brings good luck and was the last ornament placed on the tree. On Christmas morning, the first child to find the gherkin was rewarded with an extra little gift left by St. Nicholas. This tradition encouraged the children to appreciate all the ornaments on the tree, rather than hurrying to see what St. Nick had left for them.

Legend has it that a poor woman was unable to provide the traditional decorations for the Christmas holiday. A spider, who had narrowly escaped the dust mop, made his home in her tree and began to spin beautiful webs. On Christmas morning, the first light of sun struck the cobwebs, turning them to silver. When the woman awoke, she found the tree covered with silver treasure-the spider had brought good fortune!
