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. 🤣
