The time of year — or period in life — when you're expected to grind hardest and crack through every obstacle in your path. Nutcracker szn carries a double meaning: it nods to the literal Nutcracker ballet season (winter holidays) while also describing any stretch where the pressure is on and only relentless effort will see you through. Deadlines stacking, tests incoming, goals coming due — that's nutcracker szn. You don't get to coast. You don't get to be soft. The shells aren't going to crack themselves.
November hits and it's immediately nutcracker szn — papers, finals, holiday shifts, all at once.
