EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of a traditional Cracker advertisement from 1922, featuring the jolly figure of Father Christmas. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Christmas customs and advertising in the early 20th century. The Cracker, a popular British Christmas tradition, was first introduced in the mid-1800s by Thomas Smith, a London-based confectioner. The Cracker's unique design, which includes a paper tube filled with a colorful paper hat, a small toy, and a snapper to make a loud noise, has remained largely unchanged since its inception. In this advertisement, Father Christmas, with his rosy cheeks, white beard, and twinkling eyes, invites us to "Pull a Tom Smith's Cracker" and experience the joy and excitement of the holiday season. The image is adorned with festive holly and ivy, adding to the seasonal charm. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring appeal of the Cracker as a Christmas tradition but also a reminder of the role that advertising has played in shaping our holiday memories and customs. As we gather around the table with our loved ones this Christmas, let us take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of the past, like the Cracker, that continue to bring us joy and connection.
