Brits are losing it at how these American film characters pull their Christmas crackers
Back in the 1940s, the great playwright George Bernard Shaw allegedly said “England and America are two countries separated by the same language.” 80 years down the line, a more seasonal division is driving a wedge between the British and Americans.
TikToker Rachael Price – @rachaelprice62 – posted a clip from A Kindhearted Christmas, showing actor Cameron Mathison demonstrating how to use ‘Christmas crackers from England.’
Watch and wonder.

So many things wrong with this. You don’t wait till dessert and you don’t pull your own, you each hold one end. You have to wear the hat while you eat.

They’ve taken away the competitive element – where’s the opportunity for a pointless Christmas Day argument?
You’ll be telling us next that they don’t try to cheat at Monopoly.
