We started a Nutcracker collection for Jr. a number of years ago. We've got snowglobes for Luke. We add one each year and they'll go with them eventually (you know, after they put is in a home). They'll have to fight over the Santas.
It's more than a sentimental side. This man was an inspiration.
I think it's great.
Nutcrackers are cool. They always look like demonic beasts ready to eat someone's face.
