This is an old traditional story from the German traditions going back centuries. I had never heard it before until today.
This story is about a little old auntie who gets ready for Christmas. She lives alone. She invites all the children over so she is also beloved. She really wants to see a Christmas miracle. She wants to hear the animals talking or dancing with each other.
This Christmas she falls asleep and it happens while she is asleep. This story has a full page of spiders. It was pretty gross for someone who doesn't like spiders. The kids were grossed out too, or the little one enjoyed watching me get grossed out. You can figure out where the tinsel comes from.
A unique story and I actually enjoy it despite the spiders. A beautiful book.

A really cute story about the origins of tinsel in the Christmas tradition. Sweet and wonderful for kids who want to know the why behind everything (like I did!).
