Holiday Decorating Part 1: Nutcrackers

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year, and part of the holidays at my house is our mantel full of Nutcrackers.  My parents have been collecting them for years and as their number has grown so has their presence in our living room.  I love how my mom groups them in clusters -- rather than in a straight even line as I tend to set them up.


And it isn't just full size nutcrackers, they are a great motif in many parts of the house.
