In the seasonal story, The Nutcracker and the King of Mice, the Nutcracker awakens and marches his army of toy wooden soldiers into battle with the mice. In the end, the Nutcracker turns into a prince. The idea of wooden soldiers coming to life is a metaphor of what can happen because of God entering our world. Jesus' birth was God's signal that God had come to change our woodenness into true humanity.
