Nutcracker Patrol...

My Dad loves Christmas nutcrackers. Even that might be an understatement. He collects them and probably has upwards of 500 in different sizes. So occasionally, he gives us some when he gets duplicates. I've had a hard time thinking of where to put them. This year the kids brought them up from the basement and put them in front of the tree. The purpose? To guard the presents.

They stand as watchmen to make sure no one tampers with the presents. Especially Merril.

Merry Christmas!! I'm watching It's a Wonderful Life!
