Seeing frost encrusted spider webs evokes the Eastern European story of the Christmas spider. An impoverished family have no money to decorate their bare tree, but during the night the spider gets to work and the children wake to find a glittering tree festooned with webs.

Krampusnacht (Dec 5th) has just passed- I hope no naughty children ended up in the Krampus’s sack!
