CHRISTMAS SPIDER
A long time ago in Norse Country a mother was busily
cleaning for Christmas. The spiders fled upstairs to the
attic to escape the broom. When the house became
quiet the spiders slowly crept downstairs for a peek.
Oh, what a beautiful tree! In their excitement they
scurried up the trunk and out along each branch. They
were filled with happiness as they climbed amongst the
glittering beauty. But alas! By the time they were
through climbing, the tree was completely shrouded in
their dusty gray spider web. When Santa Claus came with
gifts for the children and saw the tree covered with
spider webs, he smiled as he saw how happy the spiders
were but knew how heartbroken the mother
would be if she saw the tree covered with the dusty webs.
So he turned the webs to silver and gold. The tree
sparkled and shimmered and was even more beautiful
than before. That's why we have tinsel on our tree and
every tree hould have a Christmas Spider in it's branches.
