A Special Ornament

Stendel-Freels of Albuquerque, New Mexico trimming the Christmas tree always began with the “hanging of the grapes,” when his grandfather would hang a delicate ornament made of purple, glass “grapes” deep in the tree.

This is what it means if you see a spider ornament on a Christmas tree.
