Description
Boris loves Christmas. To him, it is the one thing that makes everyone happy and he will celebrate it every day of the year. Misunderstood by his tarantula family, Boris ventures out into the world to find the North Pole to offer help to Santa Claus and his Elves. When a giant, yet talented, tarantula shows up at the door of Santa's workshop; Santa hesitantly accepts the help. Along as he keeps Boris busy, no one will worry that he is a giant spider. Suddenly, there is a crisis. Christmas is in trouble. Spoiled brats from around the world are demanding their presents regardless if they have been good or bad. Santa gets an idea. He sends Boris to remind the children of the true loving meaning of Christmas. Boris's pure and innocent love of Christmas literally scares the spoiled brats straight. They begin to behave and the holiday is saved. With sly wit and homage to the great holiday poems of the past, Boris the Christmas Tarantula is sure to delight children and adults alike. It has the makings of a Christmas classic.
