Bear with us while we explain the concept for this series of articles: we take two seemingly unrelated Milwaukee icons, then pit them against each other in 10 categories. In each category, we assign them points, one through 10, then add them up and name the winner. For this edition we get festive by comparing the Milwaukee Ballet's "The Nutcracker," which runs through Dec. 28, to Buddy Squirrel nut, snack and gourmet popcorn shop.
