PARTY FAVORS . . . Start Christmas dinner off with a bangnot a firecracker, but a very polite, Englishstyle Christmas cracker. Wick Candle Shops, at Town Country Village in Palo Alto and the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park, carry a variety of Christmas crackers. Pull them open with a snap, and you'll find an amusing little trinket, a tissue paper hat Cheap Trendy Jewelryy or crown and a joke or riddle. Store owner Jim Hill says the crackers he carries are from Tom Smith, which is the "real McCoy" of Christmas crackers in England. Boxes of twelve crackers start at $13.95 and go up to $27.95. Better trinkets and perhaps funnier jokes are in the more expensive crackers! Jolly good fun, in any case.
