nce Upon A Time.....
there lived a poor family who could not afford to decorate their Christmas Tree. But on the Eve of Christmas .....as the children of that family slept at night, a spider covers the tree in cobwebs.
In the morning, the children wake and see the tree and open the windows to let the light in....just as the sunlight hits the webs on the Christmas Tree...they magically turn into strings of gold and silver!
The family was never poor again.
Sweet story. There are some versions of the story which say that Santa Clause was the one who changed the cobwebs to silver and gold.
Either way...the story sure has a happy ending.
In Germany, Ukraine and Poland they consider it good luck to have a spider web in the christmas tree. And they even make decorations of paper and silver wire of a spiderweb and a small spider on it.
Cute custom ...don't you think? I think I'll be making one for my tree.
