Lets Top It Off

So today is all about what you put on top of your beautiful Christmas Tree. In American English we call them Tree-Toppers. Basically there are 2 toppers that are the most popular. The star and the angel, or course there are other thing you can put up there, but to this day those 2 remain the most used.

If viewed in a Christian context, the tree topper usually signifies the Christmas Star (Star of Bethlehem) or angelic hosts which proclaimed the news of the birth of Jesus to the world on the eve of his birth. Some Neo-pagan homes celebrate the winter solstice, which falls close to Christmas, by decorating an evergreen tree as a symbol of continuing life, but make an effort to decorate it with non-Christian symbols and often choose tree toppers representing the sun.

There isn't really much history I could find on the tree topper itself. So I guess this is all I have for right now. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to add a tree topper to the wonderful tree you put up and decorated.
