Nonsensical Christmas: Nutcracker
So, The Nutcracker is a famous and beloved Christmas tale about a little girl who receives the present of a nutcracker from her creepy uncle. There have been ballets, ice skating dramas and school plays about it. Am I missing something here? A nutcracker is not a doll. It's not a toy. It's a KITCHEN UTENSIL.
Nutcrackers are aptly titled, as their purpose is to crack open the shells of nuts so you can eat them. Getting a nutcracker as a present is like getting an egg timer.
Or a mixing bowl.
Slapping a face on something does not a toy make. Seriously, if I gave my kids a kitchen utensil for Christmas, they'd wip it back in my face. Ok, so I don't have any kids. But your kids would do the same thing - they've always been a little bratty.
Merry Christmas!
