What’s on top of your Christmas tree? Star or angel? Tell us what you have on your tree by voting in the poll in the sidebar of this page.
If you have a specific reason for one or the other, post it in a comment. I’m curious to know how people make this decision.
I’ve gone through periods of both. As a child, we always had a star, but when I saw a particular angel in a store one Christmas, I campaigned to try the angel that year. I believe my parents still put that angel on the tree! Now, we have a star because I wanted something that lit up and the kids like it. I also like the reminder of the shepherds and wisemen looking up and seeing that star shining in the night, guiding them to Bethlehem. As a Christian, seeing a symbol that led people to Christ long ago reminds me of my job today. Be a light that leads people to Christ.

Over the years, my mom tried all different things as tree toppers. I remember stars, angels, birds, bells, bows.
We have tried different toppers too – stars, angels, sun/moon.
I would like to find the right star someday, but none of the ones I’ve seen have really called out at me. I enjoy being reminded of the beauty of nature and beginning of winter. A few years ago we found a beautiful European styled Nikolaus that sits atop our tree. He is regal and rustic, AND convenient, since “Santa Claus” is there and watching our boys!
