Spider Collector Checklist

---

 A long time ago in Germany, a mother was busily cleaning for Christmas.  The spiders fled 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 grey spider webs.  When Santa Claus came with the 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 heart broken 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 should have a Christmas spider in it's branches!

STORY IS INCLUDED WITH EVERY SPIDER!! 

Dancing on air with powerful grace,
On winds of change in time and space.

Upon calm waters wings suspend.
Holding still, then dip and wend.

Mystic beauty, sensations intense.
Enchanted purpose, prospects immense.

Every breath is life sustained.
A world to soar, hope unrestrained.
