There are still many people in the world who celebrate Christmas for its religious significance commemorating the birth of the Son of God.
But there are an even greater number for whom the religious dimension has no meaning. For them, Christmas is a time for buying presents, having parties, and generally having a good time.
The tradition of Christmas jokes can probably be traced back to around 1845 when Christmas crackers were invented in the U.K. by a man named Thomas Smith.
Initially, they consisted simply of sweets wrapped in fancy paper. Later he added a way for the package to make a cracking noise as it was pulled apart – and thus was born the ” cracker.”
It was particularly popular for Christmas parties and he developed the idea further by including small gifts and printed mottoes and riddles.
These formed the beginning of the Christmas jokes which we know today.
