I came across a little story, which I will share with you,  so please forgive us is we have missed a cobwed in your home just before Christmas

The Christmas Spider

Have you ever wondered why it is traditional to hang a spider on your Christmas Tree, as part of the decorations or where tinsel came from

Well as legend has it in a little house somewhere in Germany many years ago it was Christmas Eve and the house was being cleaned. Not a speck of dust was left. Even the spiders had been banished from their cozy corner in the ceiling by the housewife's busy cleaning. They finally fled to the farthest 

corner of the attic.

The tree was decorated and the children delighted. But the poor spiders were frantic, for they could not see the tree, nor be present for the magic of the season. Pretty soon all was quiet, so the spiders quickly crept into the room. They all scurried up the Christmas tree, out along each branch, filled with a happy wonder at the glittering beauty. But alas!! Everywhere they went they had left their webs.

When Santa Claus (or the Christ Child, depending on which version of the legend you read) arrived he encountered the web-covered tree and somewhat of a difficult dilemma: did he keep the tree wrapped in spider webs and disappoint the family? Santa fixed everything. He turned the spider webs into shimmering silver strands that turned the tree into a brilliant decoration. His action thrilled the family - and saved the spiders.

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.
