Horace the Christmas Spider

Horace is a young spider that lives with his grandpa at the top of an old oak tree. Every morning, he walks to school with his two best bug friends (BBFs), Maya Ladybug and Freddie Ant. As winter approaches, Horace's two friends begin telling him about all the wonderful traditions their families will be celebrating at Christmas. Not knowing what Christmas is, Horace feels left out of all the excitement. After his grandpa explains the meaning of Christmas and the various traditions that go along with it, Horace is saddened to discover that his family doesn't have any traditions of their own. He's also worried about exchanging gifts with his friends because he doesn't know what exactly to give them. As Christmas draws nearer, the answer to Horace's problems reveals itself, allowing him to create both a family tradition and a permanent solution to his gift-giving dilemma.

Horace the Christmas Spider is a tale that embraces both the meaning of Christmas and the importance of sharing traditions with family and friends. It also reaffirms the notion that it's better to give than to receive. Horace the Christmas Spider was written partly as an homage to A Charlie Brown Christmas by Charles M. Schulz and will hopefully keep your family in the holiday spirit for many years to come.
