Welcome to our first annual ViralNova Presents: 25 Days Of Creepy Christmas special section! Every day, from December 1st to December 25th, we’re posting a new Christmas themed article guaranteed to get you in the creepy holiday spirit.
Nutcrackers have been a Christmas tradition for a very long time. The oldest known nutcracker was made in 1481. Scholars believe that nutcrackers were originally an ancient German tradition. The nutcrackers would act as guardians to help the yuletide season go smoothly.
Whether these figures are symbolic of something positive or not, I think we can all agree they can be extremely creepy. Just think about it: they have no lips and you can see their teeth all the way to the gums. Don’t turn your back on nutcrackers.

6. I’m now very aware of how the nutcracker’s mouth reaches very below his ribcage. How is this given to children?

I don’t think I’ve ever used a nutcracker to actually crack nuts. I feel like it would just make them scarier because then I’m more aware of their true power.
