Every Christmas, we see cute nutcrackers lining the streets, decorating shopping mall aisles, and versions of it sold in retail stores the world over (as we do at soon lee!). We thought it fun to re-visit the story of The Nutcracker and it's background story: A ballet composed by the great Tchaikovsky. Read all about The Nutcracker here, and how cute to gather all the children and put together a play this holiday at the family gathering?
