Craig Conover Instagram – The boys are back in town! Total restock completed. Who knew Nutcrackers were so popular? I especially love these cause I used my favorite colors.
The story behind Christmas nutcrackers began in the 15th century in rural areas of Germany, where they were first crafted as wooden dolls. The dolls were designed to resemble a soldier, knight, or king, and they were believed to protect homes and bring good luck. The tradition of using them during the Christmas season started in the 18th century when nutcrackers were often given as gifts. Their association with Christmas was further cemented by the famous ballet, “The Nutcracker,” by Tchaikovsky, which tells a festive tale of a nutcracker coming to life on Christmas Eve. Today, these charming and often ornately designed figures have become a yuletide tradition, cherished for their whimsical appearance and symbolic protection during the holiday season. And they look great on a couch, chair, bench, or bed! | Posted on 15/Nov/2023 03:57:24
