Star or Angel

[Kitty 34]

We have a 3 ft tree so no topping. It's a prelit tree and one of the lights is right at the top. It's red so we call it The Nose of Rudolph.

I have both. On my main tree in the living room I have an Angel. On the small table top tree (which stays up all year round, was my Mama's) in my bonus room/woman cave there is a star.

 

[AppleDumpling]

I’ve always had a lighted star.

 

[MamaMermaid]

Star! I grew up in an angel house but much prefer the star.

We were given a hand made cross stitched by my wife's Great Aunt for our first Christmas of our married life 41 years ago and that is what we have always used. I guess after 41 years it's now a family heirloom! I grew up always having one of the glass spire tree toppers.

Star

We're an angel household all the way!

Well of course you are! We have a Mickey Mouse tree topper, I'm pretty sure we bought it at WDW when Disney Springs was still known as the Lake Buena Vista Shopping Village, so it's 40+ years old.

Both?
I mean Minnie is a star, and she's dressed as an angel.

I went other but I guess it can be viewed as a star. It is a retro-futuristic atomic star. I'm not sure how else to describe it.

We had a star for about 25 years, but it decided to stop working. We got something like this at the Christkindel Market in Chicago a while back.

 

[Luv Bunnies]

We used to have an angel. Now we have a light up star that projects little swirling stars on the ceiling. I love it!

Living room tree - angel (20yrs old now)
Family room tree - angel (30yrs old now)
DD20’s tree - a Blackhawks stocking cap (the tree is all Chicago Blackhawks)

I have my grandma’s very old angel from her Christmas tree from long ago. I think I’m going to make a in Memoriam Christmas tree with photos of our relatives that have passed away (put them in photo ornaments) and then use this angel as the topper for that tree.

We kind of go back and forth. The tree when I was a small child had a star. Then when I was around ten, I made an angel in school, and that was the topper for several years. Then we got an angel with lights, and then the star we have now. Our current star is kind of a glittery translucent white with white lights inside, simple but very pretty.

We have an angel. I grew up with an angel and my husband bought us an angel the first Christmas we were married. I have seen some really nice stars and I'm kind of tempted to switch, but my husband really likes the angel we have.

our main room tree has a star
my office tree has the death star
my kids room as stitch
our bedroom has Tink
the walkway area when you come in the front door has Mickey

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

Growing up at least at my mom's it was an angel (which I now have in my basement) but as an adult the trees I've had it's a red glitter light up star.

I don't really have a preference either way nor do I put much symbolizing in it other than how someone prefers it to look.

 

[Boopuff]

We had an angel for many years. She finally fell apart. We got a lighted star. My DH has a tree in his man-cave and that tree never had anything, but last year he got a star.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Angel for the past 25+ years. Made by youngest child in kindergarden out of a paper plate and glitter.

Before that I have 3 different sized tree toppers similar to this

 

[NAB]

3 trees have angels ( need a new one for rec room not lighting this year).

Bow on living room one.

 

[SandyinMonterey]

Always a star. A lighted one.
