3. The Winter Spider
Where: Ukraine, Poland, Germany
Cost of the decor: $2–$8
This custom is prevalent in Poland, Germany, and the Ukraine since it is considered “good luck” to find a spider or its web on your Christmas tree in those nations. In order to celebrate the spider, locals create little cobweb ornaments to hang on their trees.

Paper and wire are used to make these pavuchky decorations in Ukraine, therefore all you need to do to participate in this custom is visit Dollar Tree in the United States. These Eastern European homes welcome spiders with open arms over the holidays, even though many swat them away.
