Oh, I'm not doubting there isn't any truth to itOkay, so maybe there is truth to the legend, but it was highly embellished. In one version, the sun on Christmas morning shone through the window onto the webs, making them shimmer in the light until they turned into silver and gold. Maybe a spider happened to spin webs on the tree and the morning sun imparted a silver and gold look to them. The legend is supposedly a few hundred years old, and I’ve read that modern tinsel was invented in Germany during the 17th century and made from strands of actual silver and gold.
I just think it's such an old legend that it's gotten lost in time. Even my grandma's generations apparently didn't know about this anymore, since I've never even heard anyone of older age mentioning anything about it.
Ah ok, that was what I was wondering, if it wouldn't be feasible to spray a real tree, since that stuff is so sticky it'll basically stick to anything.Yep, that’s why I’m opting for the artificial tree. I can’t frost a real one.
