Christmas nutcrackers are a true classic when it comes to decorating the home for the festive season. These jolly wooden Christmas decorations, often sporting twirling moustaches and colourful uniforms, have been a favourite since the 17th century; as the decades have passed, wooden nutcrackers have become inseparable from the yuletide celebrations. In Germanic folklore, nutcracker soldiers symbolise good luck and protection for the home, acting as the perfect accompaniment to other traditional decorations like the Christmas wreath and present-stuffed stockings. Whether standing guard by your Christmas tree or adding a whimsical touch to the decking of the halls, nutcracker decorations are sure to charm both family and guests come December.
