A Christmas Story by Cole Parker

[Ivor Slipper]

A real Christmas cracker of a story.

Oh wait - you Americans don't 'do' Christmas crackers do you? Well, read the story and you'll know what I mean.  🙂👨‍🦽🍪🎂🎄

Wait, Ivor, we do Christmas cookies--or is that Christmas biscuits?  Crackers, I'm confused!

As the mom in A Christmas Story says, "You'll put your eye out."  Maybe she was speaking of a BB gun, but there's also the possibility it was and English celebratory cracker.  Those'll put you eye out, too.

My Grandfather was a Morton.

My Dad used to revel in telling the story of a party they all went to where my Grandmother, in a loud voice, said "You'll have to excuse my husband, he's a homosexual."

Possibly, but I was advancing by six again as from B to H.
