What sits atop your Christmas tree?

Because my star is rubbish and I've finished Christmas shopping (thanks bargain thread-ers!) so I'm now focusing on wasting money getting some lovely decorations.

A Santa hat :)

An angel made from a clothes peg - my three year old made it last year, and it survived the packing away/unpacking of decorations Xmas Grin

An angel sits on both trees, one of them is 25 now. The other about 2 or3 Xmas Grin

They are still packed nicely in their box in the loft for a couple of weeks yet, until xmas.

Mael that's different. I was thinking of maybe getting a st.Nick for the tree, but I can't decide if I want a modern looking sorta slimline Santa or a more traditional one.

Aww Norway that's really lovely :)

We have a tradition of using a celebrity as our star topper for a christmas pun. Last year was Robert Downtree, this year will be Chris-mas Pinetree or Angela Lanstree.

John Lewis have a snowman or Santa felt topper for £4/5

A toy cat with fairy wings, bought when DH and I went on a weekend away a hundred years or so ago. I should replace it really - it's tiny and, well, a cat - but I forget every year until tree decorating time and it seems a shame to reject it at that stage.

A fairy doll. I'm American and this is unusual here. I have a friend who's parents are originally from England and they say it is common there.

We have Patrick Star from Spongebob in a santa hat. The tradition started long before we had DS, but at least we have an excuse now.

I've just bought a little St.Nick from a charity shop in town, he was looking sad in a box of tatty and mismatched baubles. He's lovely, he's got a long beard and gold clothing... He's perfect, but he's not very big, around 7 inches. I'm thinking of getting a large version maybe, or maybe I should just be happy with my little 49p Santa...

A toilet roll fairy made by the dc about 7/8 years ago. It has photo faces that we alternate so they all get a turn at the top of the tree. Ds was added a couple of years ago.
The decoration itself is pure shite, but the sentiment behind it is lovely so it stays!

RosieposiePuddingandPi · 04/12/2014 18:31

A giant gold plastic star Smile It's really tacky but it's part of the set of decorations I bought with my OH for our first Christmas in our own home so it holds loads of memories.

Degustibusnonestdisputandem · 04/12/2014 18:33

At the moment, nothing Blush. We really need to get something...

hazeyjane · 04/12/2014 18:39

buttons the fairy (home made and covered with buttons)

A lovely handmade pagan/folkish style fairy - I bought it at a Christmas craft market somewhere a very long time ago.

ChestyNut · 04/12/2014 18:55

Silver sparkly star Xmas Smile

ameliarose2012 · 04/12/2014 18:57

We have jack skellington dressed in a Santa suit! I bought it for DH years ago, and he won't even consider anything different now!

Last year, we had King Kong holding our angel with two model aeroplanes suspended from the ceiling.

This year, we're having a punny Irish Christmas 'Tree', which is a massive number 3 sculpted out of wire.
We're popping a leprechaun on top.

We might need to get out more.

NorksEnormous · 04/12/2014 20:13

I wanted an angel but didn't like any of their faces. So we got a Santa instead.
