Comment on The Ant Design Christmas Egg That Went Wrong

Comments

For those outside the USA, I regret to inform you there is no such thing as a 'Christmas egg' and no Christmas traditions involving eggs. May I suggest you calling it a Christmas cracker?

I think it's a pun on easter egg.

True, but it is feeble and misleading. Software Easter eggs have to be searched for but this one seems to be just there.

For those outside the USA

USA did not invent Christmas, even if you are right with your statement about 'Christmas eggs', I don't see the point of remarking that you are American as if that will make you some sort of Christmas authority.

What is a Christmas cracker?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_cracker

“Christmas crackers are festive gifts that make a snapping sound when opened.” For example, a Christmas cracker could contain a paper with jokes on it, a paper crown, and a puzzle where you have to disconnect two linked ring-like metal pieces.

Ah, the rich, storied tradition of the Christmas Cracker.
