I don't care for them - I think they look mean!

My daughter and I had a tradition of going to the Nutcracker every year so I have one that goes on the mantle.

I also have Clara and the Mouse King ornaments.

I enjoy seeing them every year as a reminder of such lovely memories.

I’ve always wanted one. I’ve never found one that spoke to me.

I was never crazy about Nutcrackers, but over the years I have found myself buying them from time to time.

I have a traditional Nutcracker that I keep in my classroom. We read The Nutcracker and listen to the music. I always take it out to show to the students. Most of them have never seen one before.

I have a white and silver one that I keep in my dining room all winter long, as it goes with the blues and grays in that room.

I also have a bar in my home. I found a really cute Nutcracker that is serving wine on a platter. I thought it was fun and festive for the season, so I bought him and keep him on the bar.

My older daughter really wanted a Nutcracker we saw at Hobby Lobby. It is a Christmas Countdown one. She has that one displayed in her room.

My husband and I also bought two light-up Nutcrackers from the Christmas display section at Home Depot a few weeks ago. They were cute and the price was right. They are now flanking our front door (outside).

I guess we do have a place for Nutcrackers in our home after all. 🤣

I've seen some cute ones but overall I'm not a fan. The ones I saw were in a place I was staying in once and they had the faces of cats and dogs. Sounds strange I know but really cute.
