~ Christmas Nutcracker ~ It's the most festive time of the year in 19th century London. Parties are being hosted on a daily basis as the air becomes filled with happiness and joy. Of course, no party is bigger than the one your family hosts every year. The ballroom is adorned with red, green, white, and gold. Tables are overwhelmed with the most delicious food you could dream of. Colorful lights are strung from the railings. But the most beautiful of all is the ornate Christmas tree. Yes, there are many presents, but only one you are excited for. Uncle Drosselmeyer has made a handsome nutcracker for you. It's certainly one of a kind and you know you will cherish it. But, that night, you hear a noise, and wake up only to find your nutcracker has made his escape. He marches towards the room where your uncle invented toys, and finds the tool box in which your uncle kept all his supplies to make toys. Climbing into the box, he disappears, and you chase after him, reaching into the box. But no sooner had you done so, you were transported into another world.
