These Xmas decorations
are everywhere this year- but why?
The thing I’ve noticed
about 2023’s Xmas decorations is the ubiquitous presence of toy soldiers. Or to
give them their correct name Nutcracker Soldiers. They’ve always been about but
recently there seem to have been more and more of them till 2023 has seen an
explosion. They are everywhere! Every
shop selling decorations has had a lot of them. Why they have suddenly proliferated this year
is something of a festive mystery but they are available in all sizes from
several feet tall to small models. Over the past couple of months they’ve
rivalled Xmas trees in availability and the other day I saw a full size one
standing guard in the porch of a house. What is going on?
