I don't know about you, but at my house growing up there was always a bowl of nuts in the living room, especially around the holidays. I can tell you from experience that most of the nutcrackers out there are simply not up to the task of a brazil nut, and I doubt these wonderful nutcrackers from Julius von Brunk would do any better, but they would certainly make any room more cheerful.
And why not, there's snow everywhere (except where I live, but I'm pretty OK with that), they get to build snow men (their favorite thing to do), and everyone sings "White Christmas" (they think it's about them, but please don't tell them it's not, it'll break their hearts). Nice build Nick.
