You can buy Christmas Crackers almost anywhere in Canada--Wal-Mart, the Bay, Canadian Tire. No need to import them from Mother England nor to make a special trip to Holts.</font>
But the British ones are much better - nicer looking, bigger bangs, "real" gifts inside, etc. I almost bought some myself when I in LHR in November - I've probably brought them back four or five times in the past few years. I'm positive I've done it post 9/11 too. More craziness.

I was prepared for an argument at security this past weekend when my kids were passing their AirZooka "air guns" through the scanner coming back from MCO. No problem, although my shoes and belt received much scrutiny.
