Centuries ago, servants would change places with their master and they were waited on like gentry just for one day of the week,
Christmas, but they couldn't weare gold crowns and wore paper ones instead.

Party "Crackers"
Opening Christmas "crackers" has been a tradition in the United Kingdom since Victorian times. These festively wrapped cardboard tubes are filled with small gifts, confetti, and paper crowns; they make a loud cracking sound when pulled

Why do they pop those little hand popper things to?
Bad Xmas tree decorating. They use purple for
one thing.
Is "Boxing Day" the day after Xmas
because they throw their empty boxes out to set
on the curb?

Because it's a traditional item in Christmas crackers and because we're easy-going/silly enough to wear them! Huzzah! :D

All Christmas Crackers over here in UK have a tiny gift, a written joke and a paper hat. God only knows why...................
