Tinsel Town


While decorating the Christmas tree this year, I ran into a piece of paper. So... I read it. It was a charming little German legend of how garland came about. One Christmas a woman chased the spiders of her home into her attic (If only it were that simple.) Later that night the curious spiders saw the beautiful tree and started spinning webs to make it even more beautiful. When Santa saw the tree he turned the spider webs into gold and silver to keep the woman's feelings from being hurt by the spiders.

Merry Christmas!
