I'll be honest, this is my first Christmas Nutcracker that I've ever owned and I couldn't be happier! I've loved Nutcrackers but never thought to add one to my own collection. When I had the opportunity to get this one, I couldn't resist. It looks just like the classical nutcrackers my mother-in-law collects that I love, but just a lot bigger. The colors are vibrant and I love the touches of gold glitter that give it just that pop of something that makes it draw your attention in. It's also very lightweight, which makes it easy to move around and put in places where I might not can put other things because of weight. Honestly, there's nothing bad to say about this product - I love it so much I'm thinking of buying more!
