Ukraine

烏克蘭

While the story about German families hiding a pickle ornament on their tree is false, Ukrainians actually do hide a spider web ornament on their tree and it is supposed to be good luck for the person who finds it. The story behind the tradition is that an old widow had no money to decorate her tree and went to bed upset that her children would have an undecorated tree the next day. While she was asleep, a spider decorated the tree with a beautiful web. When the first light of day hit the webs, they turned to silver and gold and the widow and her children never went longing again.

盡管德國家庭在樹上藏泡菜裝飾物的故事是假的，但烏克蘭人事實上的確會在樹上藏一個蜘蛛網裝飾物，據說這可以為找到它的人帶來好運。這個傳統背后的故事是，有一個老寡婦沒有錢來裝飾圣誕樹，她沮喪地上床睡覺，因為她的孩子第二天只能得到一顆沒有任何裝飾的樹。然而，當她醒來時，一只蜘蛛用一張漂亮的網裝飾了圣誕樹。當第一縷晨光照到網上時，網變成了銀子和金子，老婦人和她的孩子從此再也不愁錢花了。
