The Giver

Your Grandma stuffs the tree skirt with presents — for the dog, her hair dresser, the neighbour down the street who’s often lonely at this time of year. She’s the stuff that Christmas spirit is made of, really.

If your Grandma were a Canadian animal, she’d be a male nursery web spider.

After the male nursery web spider catches an insect, he’ll wrap it up in silk, toss it in his mouth and scout out a potential mate. Once he sets his eyes on her, he’ll offer up the gift.
