I never created Nutcracker characters.
Herr Drosselmeyer always currently smiled when he appeared within the home of his godchildren. He refused to display any signs that he was exhausted. Why cause them to worry about him? Why mention that he had been up all night creating their Christmas toys for them?
After Herr Drosselmeyer reached under his long cloak, he revealed two toys for Fritz and Clara.
The toy rat was held by Fritz as Clara took the doll.
Herr Drosselmeyer started to resist the urge to stretch his arms. Sway from side to side.
Herr Drosselmeyer eventually fell asleep on the floor minutes later.
