nutcracker suite

Figurative nutcrackers have been popular Christmas decor dating back to the 19th century when German toy makers carved wooden soldiers, kings, and knights that could actually crack the nuts from children's Christmas stockings. These large-mouthed, lavishly painted figures, now mostly for decoration, conjure visions of Sugar Plum Fairies, Dancing Mice and Clara with her Nutcracker Prince from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Ballet–a beloved seasonal classic.
