There really is a Christmas spider tradition. I think it is from Germany. I have a spider ornament that has the tale with it. It goes something like this: There was a family that was too poor to decorate their tree, (or it was a tree in a church) anyway, a spider spun a web on the tree overnight and in the morning the tree sparkled. That is how the tradition of decorating with tinsel started. It is also a tradition to hang a spider ornament in the tree. That is the gist of it anyway. Pretty neat tale.

I bet Leopold is in collusion with the Christmas Spider!
In a vampire’s household, this all seems pretty normal (sorry, Piggy)….
