I have always used a star on top of the Christmas tree.

Charlatan · 12-14-2004, 06:14 AM

Well, we put up our tree last night and...

Angel.

avhg1 · 12-14-2004, 07:08 AM

We have a ribbon on top. It's a tradition that started when my wife and I had our first christmas on our own and couldn't afford an angel or star. We had to borrow money from my parents just to get a tree. What ever we didn't already have, we had to make due. Now the ribbon reminds us of everything we have and not to take it for granted.

paulskinback · 12-14-2004, 07:10 AM

I have a sausage on top of my tree

Janey · 12-14-2004, 07:34 AM

It's too early to put up a tree. At least wait for a week before christmas.

fulltiltgonzo · 12-14-2004, 07:57 AM

We usually impale an angel on our tree...

December 1st is the outside date for putting up a tree. If my wife had her druthers it would be December 1st every year...

I am partial to a couple of weeks prior to Christmas myself... If you wait for the week before it is just too short a time to have the tree up... In other words why go to all the trouble of putting it up if you are just going to take it down in a couple of weeks. Add to this the fact that trees are cool and the kids really like it.

Fohur2 · 12-14-2004, 12:12 PM

Usually a star,but sometimes a angel.Depends on what we drag out first.

McG · 12-14-2004, 06:04 PM

I don't have a star or an angel. I used a stuffed animal toy. It is a moose.

MikeyChalupa · 11-28-2005, 07:53 PM

Bump for the 2005 holiday season...

meembo · 11-28-2005, 07:57 PM

Nice bump -- angel all the way -- angels rock

Eweser · 11-29-2005, 07:10 AM

I haven't put up a tree since I moved out of my Dad's house, but then we used a star. My Mom uses a bow usually, but she tends to do a theme thing, so whatever the theme of the year is. I prefer a star.

Meditrina · 11-29-2005, 07:23 AM

This year we have an angel, my daughter likes them. We used to have a star. I have no preference, I just like to make my daughter smile,to me that is what Christmas is all about.

ShaniFaye · 11-29-2005, 07:41 AM

We use an angel....but not just any ordinary angel....its Taz (as in tasmaian devil) wearing a leather jacket with angel wings and a halo

*it's a Canucks Stanley cup BTW*

World's King · 11-29-2005, 12:28 PM

For years we had a black angel. But when we figured out we weren't black we switched to a star.

Grasshopper Green · 11-29-2005, 04:34 PM

I always use a large bow...but if I had to choose between star or angel, star all the way. If I ever find a star I like I may even get one.

People assume there were three because they brought three gifts (Gold, Incense and Myrrh).

Back to the question - I *think* ours is a star.

Carno · 11-29-2005, 06:20 PM

Not worth fighting over. I'd put a rubber penis up there if it made everyone happy.

ShaniFaye · 12-03-2005, 01:25 PM

after today I've decided this is what I want on top of mine and daves tree

(taken at the festival of trees)

SiN · 12-03-2005, 04:15 PM

a star .. because they are much cooler than angels

Rubyee · 12-03-2005, 09:00 PM

Well, there is a star on top of our tree because it was the prettiest thing I could find at the store when I was buying tree-ings. Had I found a prettier angel, I would have bought that.

Actually, I would love to put the Death Star on top of the tree. Or the Milennuim Falcon. But I have neither of those.

And I am pretty sure there were three wise men. I will look it up and get back to you.
