Countdown Calendar King Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07M14-44-N01830A

Count down to Christmas in royal style with the Countdown Calendar King, a wooden nutcracker by Wizardi — a king in a gold crown set with a green jewel, flowing white hair and beard, and a white-and-red robe trimmed in gold braid with green jewel buttons. He holds a wooden "Days until Christmas" sign with number blocks you can turn each morning, with a red fabric gift sack and a little tree at his feet on a green-and-white base.

A little collector's folklore: the countdown to Christmas is a tradition loved by children everywhere, and collectors say when the king turns the last block, Christmas morning has officially arrived.

Why this nutcracker: if you want decor the whole family uses every day in December, the turnable blocks make him part of the routine. Kids love changing the numbers, and at 15 inches he is a proud centrepiece on a mantel or kitchen counter.

In the box: one Countdown Calendar King nutcracker in painted wood with a white faux-fur beard, turnable number blocks and a fabric gift sack, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Pair him with the countdown calendar soldier (F07M14-44-N01830B) for a matching set. Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Christmas countdown and mantel decor, and a fun gift for families with children.
