Description
Purple Nutcrackers by Kathy K. McClellan is an image created for the holidays. Normally holiday decor is designed with the traditional colors of red and green. This image however sports a more modern look with purple, pink and aqua. Even the nutcrackers themselves are wearing the non-traditional colors.
Nutcrackers have a long and interesting history possibly dating back to the ancient Greeks. Nutcrackers in the form of wood carvings of a soldier, knight, king, or other profession have existed since at least the 15th century.
When wooden nutcrackers, produced in Germany in the 1800s became popular an entire cottage industry was born. Decorative nutcrackers became popular as holiday decor items in the 1950s, mainly in the United States.
