No Christmas tree is complete without one of our unique tree toppers! These toppers will slide onto the top branch of any Christmas tree and point straight to the stars!
The Christmas tree has long been a tradition worldwide during the holiday season. Tree toppers have varied over the years, and there are many different styles and variations to choose from. While the white angel is the most traditional choice, there have been many different variations of tree toppers that people place on the top of their Christmas tree each season. Illuminated stars are a popular choice, as well as Santa Claus figures.
Tree toppers really give a finished look to any Christmas tree. Historically, this was used on trees to signify the birth of Jesus and the angels, who represent the announcement of his birth. Often, an angel at the top of a tree will also be displayed holding a trumpet to show it spreading the word of the birth of Christ. Since Christmas has taken on a more secular feel over the last few decades, other decorative items are also now used as tree toppers.
Other suggestions for tree toppers include large velvet ribbons, candles (preferably electric for safety reasons), or even nutcrackers. Whatever you choose to place on the top of your tree should be a personal reflection of how you celebrate the Christmas season. It should be festive and colorful and go with the theme of the overall decorations used on the tree. Some tree toppers are even animated and can move back and forth. Look for different styles on the web or at your local retailers during Christmas season. If you prefer not to buy your tree topper, there are some great ideas for making one of your very own at home. Have the kids get together and design their tree toppers for the tree, and make it a fun family occasion. You can even make this a yearly tradition, and watch your tree toppers change over the years.
