With what do you top your tree?

[nessa16]

I have seen so many options these days, I am curious what people here do. There is this new fad I have seen using stick-like decorations and a few years ago the fad was bows. I like angels and my mom likes Santas.  In fact, I had never had a star until I got married since that is what my ex-husband's family used. 

I loved the Precious Moments angel we had as a kid but my mom got rid of it  .  My boyfriend's family uses an angel.  We have so many trees though.  My Disney tree has Tinkerbell on top and our "toy" tree has EAH Cupid on top because we couldn't find anything else to top it that fit the tree and would stay on.  I think she looks cute.

I haven't got a tree this year because the little purple one I had last year was a hand-me-down that had seen better days. For its last hurrah though, I covered it in pink, green and blue tinsel with matching baubles and a really tacky transparent green mantis Xenomorph toy on top; the pinsers were wrapped around the top branch of the tree to keep it from falling off. It looked rather groovy!
The childhood tree topper was a really creepy cardboard angel with a plastic doll head on it; I've not idea where it came from or where it eventually disappeared to, but it was a relief to see the back of that horrible little thing!

We use a plush of the invincibility star from the Mario games.  I plan on making a perler bead version of it that lights up, though.  Maybe next year.

Star on my tree. (actually two stars this year, one below the other)

Growing up, my parents' tree had a spire.  At some point it broke and they replaced it with a small star, but my brother and I found a new spire for them a few years later in a funny little old fashioned store in the city where we went to college.

I put a Cross with a star on it on my tree. I love the classic Bible story of the shepherds and the baby lamb.

Growing up we always used a star which I prefer but currently we are using an angel....mostly because it was free. It is very pretty I just like stars better....but what I really want is a Bumble tree topper from Rudolph. I have searched high and low but I guess they don't make them. I have been thinking about making one myself but I don't want it to look tacky so I haven't attempted it yet.

I have a 24K gold encased maple leaf that we put at the top of ours.

I have a star, but I've also seen people using santa hats.

Santa tops our tree. We have a delightful tin (or similar) ornament that I bought years ago, and he's had pride of place each year ever since

We have a greyhound angel on our tree My mom got it a few years ago when we fostered greyhounds

Since we live by the beach we put a starfish on top of our tree

That sounds beautiful! Do you have a pic?
