Default What is your Tree Topper?

For those of you who put up a Christmas Tree aka. Pagan fertility symbol. lol, what do you top it with?

I grew up with a star on our tree, my parents got one for their first Christmas, now 50 years later, it has been glued, repaired but still is there.

When Laura and I got married, she wanted an angel, so we did, and it topped our tree each year until last year, when we opened our box we had put a candle in the same box as the angel and in the AZ heat, being in the attic it was history. we went without a tree topper last year but it looks naked without it, so we are going out tonight to find a cheap one. I want a star, she wants an angel, she will probably win, but it got me to think to start this poll.

Why not a star with an angel in front of it?

I love love love that, I wonder how I could find one. I checked Berean Christian stores but they don't have anything I like. (for whatever it's worth, the Christian store only has stars for tree toppers, Hm.... wonder why)

It would be pretty easy to make one, for somebody a little bit crafty.

The first Christmas I was married my mother gave us this beautiful angel for the top of our tree. 18 years later we're still using it. Every time we place on top of the tree I have all these warm and loving memories flooding back of our past Christmases and of my mom.

I have an Angel I've used for 40 years, since DD was born, but I also have a star that I used on another tree. I'm just using the angel this year (if I can get it taped back together)

I have a Teddy bear angel, made from a kit about 15 years ago. There are matching ornaments too.

Um, Earl?

Some of us ARE pagan.

Our fake tree is about 6" below the ceiling at the top, so when DH strings the lights, he makes sure there is one white light at the top...it looks like a star on the ceiling when lit...
