Tinsel on the Christmas Tree is attributed to a woman whose husband died. She was left to bring up a large family of children herself. She was left to do everything working so hard and she was determined to make a happy time for them at Christmas. She prepared a Christmas Tree to surprise them on Christmas Day. Unfortunately spiders visited the tree, and crawled from branch to branch, making webs all over it. The Christ Child saw the tree and knew she would be devastated to find this on Christmas morning. He changed the spiders' webs to shining silver.
On the twelfth day of Christmas my children gave to me
twelve plumbers plumbing
eleven diaper wipings
ten Fords a-beeping
nine songs they can't sing
eight ways of belching
seven tons of washing
six teeth decaying
five dozen Screams
four appalling words
three drenched friends
two muddy gloves
and a cartridge in a fir tree
Ummm, the smell of Christmas is everywhere I go, Evergreens and holly, and pretty mistletoe, Gingerbread and cookies, and fresh pumpkin pie, Smoke is in the chimney, curling to the sky.
