YOU WILL RECEIVE A COPY OF THE LEGEND (see photo #4) PRINTED ON DELUXE FINE PAPER WITH COLORFUL CHRISTMAS POINSETTIA BORDERS.

THE LEGEND OF THE CHRISTMAS SPIDER
(A folk legend from Germany and the Ukraine)

"Once upon a time, long ago, a gentle mother was busily cleaning the house for the most wonderful day of the year.... The day on which the Christ child came to bless the house. Not a speck of dust was left. Even the spiders had been banished from their cozy corner in the ceiling to avoid the housewife's busy cleaning. They finally fled to the farthest corner of the attic.
T'was the 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, nor be present for the Christ child's visit. But the oldest and wisest spider suggested that perhaps they could peep through the crack in the door to see him. Silently they crept out of their attic, down the stairs, and across the floor to wait in the crack in the threshold. Suddenly, the door opened a wee bit and quickly the spiders scurried into the room. They must see the tree closely, since their eyes weren't accustomed to the brightness of the room... 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 completely of the Christmas tree beauty.
But alas!! Everywhere they went they had left their webs, and when the little Christ child came to bless the house he was dismayed. He loved the little spiders, for they were God's creatures too, but he knew the mother, who had trimmed the tree for the little children, wouldn't feel the same, so He touched the webs and they all turned to sparkling, shimmering, silver and gold!
Ever since that time, 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."

Isn't that a wonderful story? Here's your chance to get in on the legend - your very own Christmas spider is waiting to spin it's magic for your Christmas tree. She would also make a terrific stocking stuffer or very affordable gifts for friends and co-workers.

The spider is 2¼" x 1¼" . The size is approximate since each spider is handmade and each comes out a bit differently from the next. They all are painted a bright white enamel and coated in Icy Crystal Glitter. They all have the iconic red (glitter) hourglass on their abdomens. Each comes with a twisted wire insert topped with a loop so a ribbon or ornament hook can suspend your spider from the tree with ease.

Happy Holidays!

Simple and beautiful. Looks lovely hanging on the Christmas tree. I bought it for my 6 year old grandson who appreciates spiders and is so fascinated with them. He says it's his favorite Christmas ornament!
