Let TheJournal.ie distract you from the ‘serious’ news with one of life’s REAL dilemmas. (*not really)

THE BIG DAY is finally here and we here at TheJournal.ie hope you’re having a cracking Christmas.

On the subject of crackers (see what we did there?), do you pull them before or after dinner?

What do you think? Crackers before or after dinner?
