The nutcracker - quintessentially Christmas.

The nutcracker's origin comes from the Erzgebirge region of Germany. These dolls were first made in the 1700s, due to the ample supply of wood and depleting supply of metal. Carving these intricate wooden nutcrackers became the livelihood of the people of the Erzgebirge region. Today, the German nutcracker is a valued possession and collectible over all others. It takes 130 steps to create this magnificent piece of art. Why the figurines don't have a smile? The answer; the people depicted their everyday hardships into each creation. Their lives were hard, the working conditions bad and they did not get paid well.

The book 'The Legend of the Nutcracker and Traditions of the Erzgebige', written by Ken Althoff, speaks of an old German folktale about how the nutcracker came into being. The story stated that there was a farmer who offered a reward to anyone who could help him crack the walnuts that grew on his tree. A carpenter told him to saw the nut in half while a soldier told him to shoot the nut. It was finally a puppet maker who came along with a beautiful puppet, made of wood and painted in bright colors, which had strong jaws that could be used to crack the walnuts. The farmer rewarded him by giving him his own workshop. Though this is just a folktale, it can safely be said that the nutcrackers have been made for the past 300 years or so. In Germany, it is also said that nutcrackers bring good luck and protect the house. They are said to keep evil at bay and protect the people of the house.

Let's not forget the reason for the holiday season and proudly display your nutcracker.
