Christmas Spider


Since we were out of town for Christmas, we are still receiving Xmas gifts.

Our LI family, sent us a beautiful green glass spider. I had never heard the Legend of the Christmas Spider, until I received this unique gift. The story says that awed by the beauty of a Xmas tree, spiders climbed into it and covered it with their webs. Santa then turned the webs into silver and gold tinsel which is still placed on trees today.

I think the spider is too beautiful to put away until next Xmas. It is now hanging in the kitchen window. Green is our nieces favorite color and I think of our family whenever I see it.
