Once upon a time a family was busily cleaning the house for a most important day, Christmas. Not a speck of dust was left. Even the spiders had fled to the farthest corner of the attic.
T'was Christmas eve at last! The tree was decorated and waiting for the children to see it. But the poor spiders were frantic, for they could not see the tree, or be present for the Christ Child's visit. The mother spider gathered up her family and took them to peep through the door. Silently they crept out of the attic, down the stairs and across the floor to the parlor. They had to see the tree more closely, so they crept all over the tree, up and down, over every branch and twig and saw every one of the pretty things. At last they satisfied themselves with the Christmas tree's beauty.
But alas!! Everywhere they went they had left their webs and when the Christ Child came to bless the house, he knew the family would be sad. He loved the little spiders, for they were God's creatures too. So, he touched the webs and they all turned to sparkling shimmering silver and gold!
Ever since that night, we have hung tinsel on our Christmas trees, and according to the legend, it has been a custom to include a spider among the decorations on the tree.
Christmas spiders are for sale at the Gallery or you can make your own at one of our craft classes.
