Humpday Triviola

One form or another of these things have been around for a long time. But the form that often comes to mind came into being in the early 19th century. Boxwood was often favored for the earlier ones. The name of the form we often think of came from a referrence by the Brothers Grim. What is it?

The term for this used by the Brothers Grim was �Nussknacker�
