I had a lot of fun making the paper hats and crackers, but the garlands were fiddly and ended up a bit wonky. They look okay in the photos though. I bought the food - it took ages to get everything - and actually had this planned way before you suggested it - I was longing to tell you, but I wanted it to be a surprise!
Thank you for the link - I totally missed those! I was at my parents for Christmas and they don't have internet. I tried to catch up when I got back home but I think I overscrolled your post as there was no picture before the cut.
I bet the garlands were fiddly! Well done. And the crackers look totally like real ones - I should know, I bought some in Birmingham recently.
That was a nice surprise indeed! And I see you found the comm. Have a look around - it's lovely, and very diverse.
I'm happy I infected you with the action figure bug - my work here is done *bg*
Thank you for the link to the community, I'll look around when I have more time, it's getting late here. My first attempts aren't very good compared to others, but hopefully I'll improve with practice. I still have to cross-post these to some of the Torchwood comms, along with several drabbles and my Christmas fic, when I get time. Christmas is chaotic! Never enough time to fit things in.
I actually made the crackers from bits of old crackers. They weren't too difficult to do, though they are a bit bigger than I would have liked.

I'll go look at that community now!

I am definitely hooked, so thanks for that too =D
