Christmas Spiders
A long time ago in Germany a mother was busily cleaning for
Christmas. The spiders fled upstairs to the attic to escape the
broom. 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.
Alas! By the time they were through climbing, the tree was
completely shrouded in their dusty gray spider web. When Santa
Claus came with the gifts for the children and saw the tree covered
with spider webs, he smiled as he saw how happy the spiders
were, yet knew how heartbroken the mother would be if she saw
the tree covered with the dusty webs. So he turned the webs to
silver and gold. The tree sparkled and shimmered and was even
more beautiful than before.
That's why we have tinsel on our tree and every tree should
have a Christmas spider in its branches.
