The nutcracker I was 15 years old, and my aunt asked what I would like for Christmas. I loved the “Nutcracker” ballet, and I told her that I would love a nutcracker. Christmas Eve, the family is gathered and opening gifts. I open the one from my aunt and uncle. It was a brand new, shiny metal nutcracker with picks! She couldn’t figure why a 15-year-old would want a nutcracker. Fortunately, my mom got me the real deal—a nice, red, wooden nutcracker soldier. Niki Tucker | Peachland, Pee Dee EMC |
