When I was little we had a light up santa claus,,, it was so cute.....  now I just put an ornament that is about 12 " high and comes to a point... and is in a glittery matt gold color.....  sparkly when the lights hit it.


What adorns your XMAS tree ?   is there a special person who has the honor of putting it up there?

We have a bow this year, with the ribbons coming all the way down to the floor.

We have a star, but near the top of the tree I put a birds nest with a tiny Robins egg that both me and my Mom found when I was a little girl. My Mom is passed on and I want to keep that tradition going with my won daughter. I can't believe after all these years the egg hasn't got broken. it also has a fake little Robin bord that goes with it. My daughter loves it. We always had a star at the top of our Christmas tree growing up too. Trish :)

Last year we had a blue christmas with DS1 in Iraq--
Just blue lights shining on silver stars on the windows.
We half heartedly decorated the ficus tree, but
it wasn't much.
This year we'll get back into our christmas mode
with colored lights and tinsel
We put a huge six foot red bow on the front door
when DS1 finally came home before TG and before he
left for Peru.

Either an angel or a star. If I decorate my country tree, I put a wooden star that lights up on top & if I decorate my "elegant" tree i put the angel on top.

When I was little, my dad always put the angel on the top of the tree. Now, either my dh or myself does it.

I prefer my country tree with the star :)
