If you enjoy "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and "Charlotte's Web" than you are bound to enjoy this delightful and vividly illustrated tale. But first, let me tell you why I wrote the story. One Christmas, I received two beautiful colorful beaded spiders, each accompanied with a poem "The Legend of the Christmas Spider". Each had their own version of the tale, but the main topics were the same. Spiders spinning "dusty gray spider webs" on these beautiful Christmas trees and a "young mother" who, in this adaptation, is now a "Nana".I loved the poems and researching them, I discovered they originated in an Eastern European country. The legends have been kept alive by being passed on from generation to generation throughout the old world into the present. I found this intriguing and as a creative artist and bead designer, I was inspired so, I adapted the legend, as an American Adaptation, to include the "Christmas Story" ... Believing in the birth of Baby Jesus and in the "Magic of Christmas" cleverly told through the eyes of one special spider ... introducing "Bitsy", the most curious spider of all.This tale unfolds with Bitsy not only discovering her first Christmas tree ... encountering Santa Claus ... witnessing "Christmas Magic" and seeing spider webs turn into "silver tinsel:; but, also, experiencing the joy of celebrating Christmas with family. And with the trusty help of, the eldest, wisest spider, E.W., she embarks on her journey "discovering truths of major importance".Leading Bitsy to learn how she, left her mark spinning the image of a "sparkling golden crystal diamond" the Christmas Star" in the night sky as her "dusty gray spider web" on the Christmas tree. Her design becomes the most inspirational symbol not nly to see but it carries the greatest message the "The Christmas Story", for the whole world to hear.This adaptation introduces the Baker's Dozen family. They bring this "ol' world legend" to life by keeping past traditions alive and blending the present customs to make sure these are passed down to the new generation of countless tomorrows.

She never knew the gift her husband, Jacob, made before he became ill would mean so much to his family this Christmas. Elizabeth knew God would not desert them, but she never dreamed He would bless her family the way He did or that Christmas would turn out the way it did.

Christmas promises to be a bitter time of change for Samantha "Sam" McCaslin following the death of her mother. At thirteen years old, tomboyish Sam tries to fill her mother's place on the family's South Dakota ranch, the Bar X. Pressure from her grandparents forces her father to choose between sending Sam to live with them, or seeking a housekeeper to help at the ranch. When Mrs. Six Feathers and her two children, Sarah and Timmy, arrive at the Bar X, Sam deeply resents their coming. She chooses to ignore them as much as possible. But when Sarah and Sam become the victims of Billy Kincaid's vicious bullying, a bond begins to develop between them as they fight back. As Kincaid's behavior becomes dangerously psychopathic, Sam's very life is threatened. With only her quick wits to survive Kincaid's ruthless cruelty, every second counts. Will her friends be able to help her in time, or will she become a victim of Billy's deadly vendetta? At what should be the happiest season of the year, Sam will learn just how important family really is... With The Christmas Spider, Randy Eickhoff has written a warm, wonderful, off-beat tale. Yet, it also illustrates a modern problem concerning the bullying of children in today's society. The timeliness, however, of the Christmas season will make it be a great choice for families to read aloud on Christmas Eve. - Lucia St. Clair Robson Award winning American historical novelist A heart-warming and beautiful fable for a beautiful season. Real people with real, human problems discover through the myth, spirit, and ultimate truth of Christmas that there is healing and hope in the world. Randy Eickhoff has given us an instant classic! - William Martin, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Lost Constitution and The Lincoln Letter
