History of the Nutcracker as Holiday Decor
The use of a nutcracker as a decoration for Christmas dates back to German folklore from the 15th century. At that time, nutcrackers were given as keepsakes to bring good luck to families and protect the home. They could be found in shapes of heroic figures, including soldiers, kings, and knights - and still are found in those shapes today!
The nutcracker became a worldwide decor option with the popularity of The Nutcracker Ballet, completed by Tchaikovsky in 1891. Since then, the ballet is performed by hundreds of theater companies each year, and the ballet has become a family tradition for untold scores of people around the world.
Americans became even more fascinated with nutcrackers following World War II, as American troops brought the figurines home from Germany as gifts and souvenirs for family and friends. These nutcrackers were functional, as the mouth of the figure could actually crack shelled nuts. Nowadays, nutcrackers tend to simply be for decorative purposes.
