Target usually sell nice ones. Also world market if you have one near by... good luck and enjoy. Don't forget to wear the paper hat :beer:

Thanks - I will try Target tomorrow. Our world market closed down about 2 years ago and was (funnily enough) replaced by a Target.

aye, there's a thread called crackers.

home goods have the same one's that papyrus have, but for a lot less, $10 or so and there pretty good.

There does seem to be more this year. I've had the Costco ones for about 5 yrs. When we first came her 10 yrs ago I couldn't find crackers anywhere...or advent calendars.
