"hola señor"
did you know? according to german folklore, nutcrackers were given as keepsakes to bring good luck to your family and protect your home. the legend says that a nutcracker represents power and strength and serves like a trusty watch dog guarding your family from evil spirits and danger. a fierce protector, the nutcracker bares its teeth to the evil spirits and serves as the traditional messenger of good luck and goodwill.

I never saw a nutcracker like this one before but glad you found it to keep Bailey company. Bet she is looking forward to Christmas cause she knows that Aoife is coming home for a visit.
ReplyDeleteMom has been to the region where they are made when she lived in Germany but she has never seen a Mexican one! Super cute!
