A star, an angel, something random... what's atop your tree?

Just a lighthearted and not-even-slightly scientific pool because I'm curious!

I'm preparing to be flamed here but I've just ordered a disco ball for the top of my thoroughly non-traditional and possibly garish tree 😁

We had a Llama on top of ours last year as I broke the angel. I quite liked it actually

Oh bloody hell everyone else replied in full sentences.

That's okay, there's no word count expectation 😁

We have a panda. One of those ones with arms that you squeeze and it grips, so it looks like it’s climbing the tree 😬

We’ve always had an Angel. My daughter has my grandmother’s very old one on the little tree in her room. We have the one my grandmother bought for our first Christmas tree when we got married, will be the 18th Christmas on top of the tree this year.

@OddBoots I love that you have the knitted character! My family have a knitted character that we have spent years hiding from one another.

I used to have one of those years ago! I miss my panda now 🤣

A top hat with goggles. Two robins perched on the brim.

We had a fairy on top of our tree when I was growing up. She only had one shoe, like Cinderella. Must have been a 1960's doll as she had pants on. My Nan made a new dress for the doll a couple of years before my Nan died.

I have an angel on top of our tree now. My current angel is probably our third. I purchased it from John Lewis for £25. I also purchased a snow fox tree decoration - for £8. Yes, they saw me coming !

There were some beautiful decorations. The forest seemed to be the theme. Lovely owl decoration but not that well made. I did also see the green decoration which was featured on MN recently. I even put my little finger on the hole in the rear. In the name of research of course.

I was just trying to work it out and I think this will be the 10th year he has been around. Time flies!

A red star like the one on the Kremlin

Nothing... (just to clarify, this was last year's tree, it doesn't go up until December!)

I love the story about your 1960's fairy, I think it's because I remember the fairy on our tree when I was little that I want one now. And not a skinny pointy-eared Gisella Graham fairy either!

Last year I bought the Bella tree topper from beauty & the beast. She looked lovely & can't wait to put her back up (once December hits)

I have a bow. I've never felt an angel or star or proper ornament sits/looks right when I do it

WeeWeeWeeeee · 09/11/2021 22:12

A bat

The squirrel of Christmas of course. Why else?

The squirrel of Christmas looks fucking raging. I love it!

A star that lights up with The Snowman and The Snow Dog in the middle!
