Countdown to Christmas continues with two nutcrackers...
A product of German craftsmanship, the nutcracker not only 'cracked nuts' but also scared away the evil spirits with its big wooden teeth. Eventually, it was sold as a popular children toy and became the inspiration for the Nutcracker ballet, a popular Christmas event. Both fascinating and intriguing, they have also become a collector's item. Melbourne, FL
