Cracker Christmas

Florida cracker refers to original colonial-era English and American pioneer settlers of what is now the U.S. state ofFlorida, and their descendants.


Fort Christmas, FL, has a "cracker Christmas" every year.  You know the drill.  Some people in time period costumes showing "Cracker" activities, ie: fire starting, gator wrestling (j/k), wool spinning, musket shooting, etc.  They also had authentic food.  The majority of the event was booths set up selling crafts.


Here are the kids trying a Cracker game.  Put the ring on the horseshoe.
