The legend of the Christmas Spider — Did you know there are different legends of the Christmas Spider? Most legends stem from Eastern Europe where people believe finding a spider on a Christmas tree is considered good luck. Another legend is of a widowed mother who is too poor to decorate her Christmas tree, so friendly spiders spin elaborate webs on the evergreen.

When the mother and her family wake on Christmas morning, they open the curtains and sunlight hits the webs, turning them silver and gold (this tale is sometimes said to be the origin of tinsel).
