Toys are always associated with Christmas. Every child looks forward to receiving one from Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Nowadays, gadgets, toy cars, and other electronic toys but decades and even centuries ago, children received carved toys like a nutcracker.
The nutcracker was given as gifts to children during the holiday season. In folklore, they were also seen as a protector against evil as well as a magnet for good luck. But since most gifts are now electronic, nutcrackers have been relegated as decorative items for the Christmas season. These figurines adorn Christmas trees or line up bookshelves and cabinets. Big ones stand beside Christmas trees, serving as guardians for the toys the children will open on the big day.
Nutcracker statues are usually depicted as soldiers wearing a military uniform and hat, as well as a cool moustache on its face. This life-sized nutcracker sports golden curly hair hidden under his shako and the same coloured moustache on its face. It also comes in a smaller size.
