You would put incense in the back, and the smoke would come out around the pipe.<br />I know many of the nutcrackers were not decorations, but decorative usable nutcrackers.<br />I think if one has seen them in the native culture, they are more attractive. (plus the hand made ones we saw were superb work!)<br />Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!<br /><br />XXOO~~♥<br />AnneAnne Huskey-Lockardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642632328404951486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607625212521439868.post-80602909976698158232010-12-21T13:11:24.494-05:002010-12-21T13:11:24.494-05:00me too Diane!!!! but they do look neat!!! don'...me too Diane!!!! but they do look neat!!! don't they!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09700214027813205802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607625212521439868.post-22267815150518151802010-12-21T12:58:01.873-05:002010-12-21T12:58:01.873-05:00Well, I have never been a nutcracker girl but I do...Well, I have never been a nutcracker girl but I do LOVE the BIG ones.
