Soldiers of the Silly Season
"Marie still had the wounded Nutcracker wrapped in her handkerchief, and she carried him in her arms. Now she placed him cautiously on the table, unwrapped him softly, softly, and tended to the injuries. Nutcracker was very pale, but he beamed so ruefully and amiably that his smile shot right through her heart." - The Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffmann.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 13th of December is "shape or spot the letter S", where in order to meet the brief of the theme, I am required to submit an image depicting where the the letter S has been formed by me, or a photo of an object that is accidentally displaying the letter S. In this case, I have opted for the former. In keeping with my seasonal Christmas theme in the month of December, I have shaped the letter S with some miniature Christmas Nutcracker saucer crackers that a friend gave me last Christmas. They are so dainty and delightful with their grinning caricature faces that I couldn't bear to use them, and have kept them for photography purposes instead. Half wear a red uniform and half a green uniform, so I have set them against a half red, half green, background. I hope that you like my choice for this weeks theme, and that it makes you smile!
