Handmade Christmas-Holiday Party Crackers

When I set a holiday table I like to make name tags and predetermine where everyone will sit.  It always seems like if you don't then things can get a little confusing while everyone is holding warm plates of yummy goodness.  My mom has always made these for our breakfast on Christmas morning and our family loves them...looks forward to them...to the point that even when she doesn't make breakfast she is still expected to make them.  They would make perfect name tags for the holiday table and each guest would get a little gift as well.

All you will need is a toilet paper or paper towel roll (it depends on what you want to fill the with), wrapping paper, tape, ribbon and fillers.  Once they are filled and wrapped the recipient gets to crack them open and see what surprise lies within.  Here are some ideas for fillers...
Perfect boy fillers (race car, candy & money)...
How about a bow, bracelet, candy & money for a little girl...
Adult time (Lottery Ticket and kisses)...
Extra thought (zinger chocolate cupcake and kisses)...
Once everyone is seated they can break them open and see what lies within.  Santa even won $2.00...nice!!
Jazz up your Christmas table with holiday crackers filled with a little something for each guest.  They are sooooo fun!!  Sweet surprise-J
