Yeah, this post is a bit late, ha, but several of you asked if we found a new one for this year. We didn't decorate for Christmas this, there was a lot going on with the farmhouse packing, then moving, then demolition, land clearing, back and forth with the builder, etc and in the end, we realized we're going to just move the stuff as packed. We figured, why unpack it for a couple of weeks only to have to repack it? It's already organized, neatly packed and ready to be moved in a few months.
But we did make a new addition to our collection for next year's decorating extravaganza:
You all may remember our collection from the last few years of these nutcrackers. This is what a few of you had asked about. Whataburger (a hamburger chain) is an institution here in Texas and a few years ago they came out with their first one in 2019. Then in 2020, they didn't have one due to pandemic and shipping issues. In 2021, they had one and again in 2022 and last year 2023. Almost missed that one due to my hospital trip but got I before it was sold out.
And this year, like clockwork, they came out with the 2024 version. Sure, they are all variations of each other, holding something different, different color hair or reversed colors, but, as a Texas institution, we have to have our Whataburger nutcrackers in our Texas Christmas decorating! Not sure how long they will keep it going but we're in it now, ha.
Anyway, just thought we'd share. We can't wait to decorate our house this Christmas!
Orange for Texas? I will check to see if they have nutcrackers here at Birmingham location.
ReplyDeleteWell, orange and white is just Whataburger's signature color scheme so I think they use that for everything. Thanks for keeping an eye out. There might be another one this year but they usually come out in October/November.
DeleteNow you need to add Bucc-ee's nutcrackers to have a Texas kitsch collection! We visit a Bucc-ee's at least once a year, closest one is an hour away from us (we're in the DFW area), and I saw one early last December. I was tempted but didn't get one.
ReplyDeleteWait, Bucc-ee's has a nutcracker? OMG I'll have to look for that. Probably gone now of course but maybe eBay or something. Off to check!
DeleteWas just thinking about these the other day when we stopped at Whataburger wondering if you had gotten the latest one.
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening and enjoy your weekend.
Aww, yep, saw it just in time and of course about 2 weeks after I got ours, it was sold out, so perfect timing, ha.
DeleteI think this is a wonderful collection. I like how they are holding different products.
ReplyDeleteIt is cute, we'll have a whole "franchise" at some point, ha.
DeleteI love your collection! It’s fun to look at them and note the unique features of each one.
ReplyDeleteThey tweak something every time, pattern, color scheme, hair color, etc. Not sure how long they'll keep them going but we'll see.
