I have enjoyed collecting a few Nutcrackers. 

I admit I have never watched the actual ballet.
I suspect I just like collecting shiny toy like things.

I think I will start looking for a mouse or two.

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Christmas Bells 

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
