Christmas Spider Story and Craft
There are many great stories and legends that surround the Christmas time of year and while many people don’t like spiders normally, this legend might just make them smile anyway.
The legend is believed to originate from Germany and is told two different ways. Both ways are predominately the same except for one area. One way tells of Santa (or Father Christmas) visiting the home, the other way tells of Jesus visiting the home.
The legend is as follows:
“The day before Christmas the mother of a family made a huge effort to get her home clean so it could be decorated and made ready to be blessed by the Christ child on Christmas. The spiders fled before the vigorous onslaught of the broom. They scurried away to hide up in the furthest reaches of the attic.
The house was cleaned and decorated with great care. A Christmas tree was brought in and arrayed with ornaments and decorations. That night, when the family had gone to bed, the spiders returned to the main rooms of the house to see what the flurry of activity had been all about. They were delighted by the beauty of the home. The Christmas tree was the center of attention, however, and the spiders ran to the tree and scurried throughout its branches so they could admire each and every one of the ornaments. Of course, to do this, the spiders had to spin their webs, so the tree was soon wrapped with strands of dull gray spider silk.
In the morning, the Christ child came to bless the house. The tree was beautiful to him, for after all, the spiders were among God’s creatures, but he knew the mother, who had worked so hard to clean the house, was not likely to view the webs the same way. The Christ child touched the spider webs and they began to glisten and glimmer and turn to sparkling garlands of gold and silver.
In the morning, the entire family gathered about the Christmas tree and exclaimed that it had never looked so lovely! Only the mother knew that the sparkling strands were a true Christmas miracle and not some last-minute decoration. Since that time, it has been tradition to bedeck the tree with garlands and tinsel. While the mother still chases the spiders away for cleaning on Christmas Eve, she remembers and honors the Christmas miracle by hanging a spider ornament among the branches of the tree.”
Beyond the story being a neat legend there is also an opportunity for a craft, and maybe even a unique gift. A handmade spider ornament and a print out of the Legend of the Christmas Spider could share the Christmas spirit.
Items needed:
2 bells
pipe cleaners (I use silver to match the silver bells)
2 wiggle eyes
ribbon
hot glue and gun
(Alternatively you can make a jeweled spider large beads for the body and small beads for the legs)
To make the spider is as simple as gluing the two bells together, gluing on the eyes, pipe cleaners for legs and a length of ribbon to make a loop to hang the ornament on the tree.
Many people have never heard of the Legend of the Christmas Spider so if you are looking for an easy, unique craft for the Christmas season this may be just the thing.

The California Personal Injury Attorneys of BISNAR CHASE (http://www.BestAttorney.com) teamed up with Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County recently to feed more than 150 families in Orange County, California.
This is the fifth time the law firm has teamed up with Second Harvest Food Bank to donate food to the hungry in Orange County.
Members of the BISNAR CHASE staff, along with their families, were on hand at Sons of Italy Lodge in Anaheim to distribute fresh produce and other food items as part of the firm?s sponsorship to help the hungry in Orange County.
?The opportunity to help others in need in our community is a blessing,? said Michael McClure, an associate at BISNAR CHASE. ?Some individuals will always be less fortunate than others during different periods of their lives. When we have the resources to help one another, we?re all recipients of love to our fellow man and should be thankful to have the ability to share in this love, friendship and goodwill.?
Danielle Olson, executive assistant and coordinator of the BISNAR CHASE Second Harvest Food Bank sponsorship, says she, along with other members of the law firm, find it personally rewarding to give back to the community.
?We enjoy helping with the Second Harvest program because it puts things into perspective,? said Olson. It feels good to be able to help our community and see the smiles on the kids? faces as they come through the food line with their parents knowing they will have fresh fruit and vegetables to eat. Second Harvest?s motto of ?no questions just give? is a great motto for life, actually.?
The Orange County Epidemic of Hunger
Hunger is an epidemic that affects people from all demographics. There are an estimated 615,000 individuals who struggle with hunger in Orange County and of these people, 77% of them do not qualify for government food assistance programs and solely rely on food banks for all of their meals.
Many Orange County individuals and families struggle to make ends meet each month. The Second Harvest Food Bank Program services those who have an income at or below the federal poverty level due to job loss, low wages, or homelessness, and for food emergencies that are temporary or long-standing.

What Does The General Dentist Do?
Dentists stopped being tooth pullers long ago. With all the different advances today in dentistry, there are many new facets of the field. Cosmetic dentistry is something that did not exist a few years ago. You may be confused between the cosmetic dentist and a general dentist. Let’s take a look at what a general dentist does.
The general dentist deals with what it sounds like. He deals with general issues regarding your teeth. This is the oral professional that deals with most of the problems. They have training and specialize in the techniques to ensure proper oral hygiene. They clean your teeth and repair them and helped intervene to prevent dental loss and potential gum damage. For many people this is the only kind of dentist they will ever see.
As opposed to the cosmetic dentist whose primary focus is to do the things that make your teeth look perfect and great, your general dentist is focusing on making sure that you have great chops to eat your food with and that you don’t get periodontal disease.
One of the biggest things a dentist deals with is cavities. With tooth decay, the general dentist is the one that will remove the bad tissue, take away the damaged enamel, clean the area, and then fill it with either metal or porcelain.
The dentist or general dentist will also deal with things like root canals. If you have an inflamed nerve or potential decay that is not repairable, the general dentist is the one that will remove that nerve and then ultimately the tooth if necessary.
Your general dentists does other tooth repair like handling a loose filling or reshaping a broken tooth.
And, don’t forget the regular checkups. Your dentist is the one that you visit to get your teeth cleaned and polished, and also the one that takes the x-rays to make sure that the overall health of your teeth and your gums are the way they should be. You may remember getting fluoride treatments when you were younger.
Finding a great and general dentist is a process that can take some time and referrals typically are what you’re looking for. Find a dentist that has a great rapport and wanted you so comfortable with. If you are looking for other than regular dentistry, your dentist may actually be able to perform the procedure, as there are much more cross over in industry these days. For things like porcelain veneers, lumineers, or bleaching, you may need to seek the expertise of the cosmetic dentist. In another article, we will be discussing what the cosmetic dentist specializes in.
