This Nutcracker General Ornament looks ready to come to life and fight off the wicked mouse king! This ornament is a wonderful gift for dancers young and old. Did you know Nutcrackers were first carved by commoners as a joke because it was considered fun to make a little wooden king or soldier do the menial work of cracking the tough nuts? Today, nutcrackers are often associated with the Christmas holidays due to their whimsical nature and the very popular Nutcracker Suite Ballet.
