Legend of the Christmas Spider Ornament Kit
Once upon a time, long, long ago in Germany a mother was busily cleaning for Christmas. The spiders fled upstairs to the attic to escape the broom. On Christmas Eve, the family decorated the tree with care. When the house became quiet the spiders slowly crept downstairs for a peek. Oh, what a beautiful tree! In their excitement they scurried up the trunk and out along each branch. They were filled with happiness as they climbed amongst the glittering beauty. But alas! By the time they were through climbing, the tree was completely shrouded in their dusty gray spider webs. When Santa Claus came with the gifts for the children and saw the tree covered with spider webs, he smiled. He saw how happy the spiders were, but knew how heartbroken the mother would be if she saw the tree covered with dusty webs. So he turned the webs to silver and gold. The tree sparkled and shimmered and was even more beautiful than before. And that’s why, in many parts of the world, it is a custom and a symbol for good luck to have a spider on your Christmas tree! Kits make 5 of one color. Size 3 x 3″.
