Christmas ignites the imagination of children around the world. Nutcrackers have the potential to come alive becoming a boy's best friend. This image represents the wonder of Christmas and the imagination of a little boy as he shares his Christmas wishes with his favorite Nutcracker turned playmate. The little boy is my grandson and the Nutcracker is exactly his size this year. He's grown up with this larger than life nutcracker as it's a part of grandma's (my) yearly Christmas decor.
