Because crackers didn’t have the right amount in a pack for our family my mum came up with an idea of bags instead of crackers a few years ago. Each family member takes it in turn to do them, putting whatever we want in them. Mum made the bags from red felt and embroidered our initials on them, and it’s a highlight of Christmas day every year.
