The Nutcracker’s Story

Nutcrackers originated in Germany.

Birds, animals and people were crafted into Nutcrackers.

Keepsakes, bringing luck to your host and symbols of protecting the home.

They started as entertainment during dessert. A conversation generator that cracked nuts. An ancient version of the same things we do today at the holiday dinner table for fun!

The soldier was not popular until late 19th century.
