Christmas Nutcrackers - Nutcrackers are believed to have originated in the Erzgebirge region of Germany about 300 years ago. An artisan carved a wooden soldier with a movable mouth to symbolically crack the 'hard nut' of the economic times. The figure quickly became popular throughout the region, Germany, and the world. This Caroler Family is the 2024 Byers Choice Christmas Market Nutcracker Family.
