What is on top of your tree?

I have a Minnie Angel with a bow beneath her on one tree. Bandleader Mickey is on the Disney tree and a big blue bow on the aluminum tree.

We have an angel on our tree that was a wedding gift from a good friend of mine. We were married in October (of 1997), so we received some Christmas decorations for wedding gifts.

We also have an extremely colorful, light-up, tacky star that I LOVE that is on the little tree in DS's room. It reminds me of the star we had on our tree when I was a kid.

We have the star on the tree this year. We have to rotate every year. DS likes the star, DD likes Tinkerbell, DMom likes the traditional angel and I, just like Meriweather, LOVE my Biker Taz Angel. He's the coolest.

like msdznyduck mentioned. It was on my first tree after I left home light years ago........ She's rather tattered and wobbly but she's tradition. Isabella said "Poor angel, Grandma, she has a tree stuck in her bottom." when I sat her on the top last week!

My mom bought an animatronic Minnie Mouse angel during our first trip to Disney World in 1996 - she's lit up and sways from side to side...it's been on the top of our tree ever since

I voted "Other" as I have the Tinkerbell Tree topper from the Christmas store in DTD.

I have an angel on mine, we have pretty much always had an angel. When I was growing up we had a very old angel and then I bought this nice frosted glass star and we used it for a couple of years when I happened across the beautiful angel I have now. I wasn't looking for a new topper but I was out shopping a few years ago and came across her and fell in love. She's about a foot tall with a porcelain head and arms/hands, she has white feather wings and wears a long velvet, mauve coat trimmed in white fur and her dress underneath is gold material and gold lace. She carries a small wicker basket filled with flowers and a small white dove. I just love her!

Why the Angel is the "real" tradition, and how that tradition got started:

One particular Christmas a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.

Then, Mrs. Claus told him that her mother was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more.

He then went to harness the reindeer, where he found three of them about to give birth and two more missing. They had jumped the fence and were out heaven knows where. As he began to load the sleigh, one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys everywhere.

Frustrated, Santa went back into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey.

When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that someone had drank all of his liquor and there was nothing left. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom to find that the mice had eaten the straw from which it was made.

Just then the doorbell rang and Santa cussed his way to the door. He opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said cheerfully, "Merry Christmas Santa. Isn't it just a wonderful day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?"

Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

LOL Griggle, that is too funny!

I bet your Donald is cute, it's hard to imagine Donald dressed like an angel but I love the little guy.

We've always had an angel. But this year, in honor of living so close to the world, we splurged and bought the fiber optic Tinkerbell tree topper. She is just beautiful, and "sprinkles" us with pixie dust whenever we walk by the tree.

 

[Stepharoonie!]

Fiber optic wings Tinkerbell for me!
