Christmas Trees
 

Now that it is twelve days until Christmas and most people, if not everyone, will have their decorations up, I am interested in what you put on the top of your tree. This was also sparked from a question in my Advent calendar* this morning.


*It said fairy.

I dont know whether mine is an angel or a fairy!x

What do you think it is?

And where do fairies even come in to Christmas anyway?!

I'm not sure what part fairies play in Christmas, maybe it's people mistaking angels for fairies?

I have a star, just because I needed to buy something and some of the angels looked pretty creepy.

I don't have a tree. But generally I used to have a star. Or a very neutral coloured angel.

A santa type looking man for some reason. :S

This is the thing we put on our tree =)

We have a felt embroidered star. It doesn't really go on top of the tree it just ties onto the top branch with ribbon. :)

We normally would have ours up by now but we are having a new carpet fitted on Saturday so we are putting it up then! (:

You have questions in your advent calendar?

We've got an angel on top of our tree. It was either that, or have my cats climb up it and pretend to be angels ;)...

That looks lethal!

Yes. Every day there is a little question, usually something like "What colour is Rudolph's nose? but the one about what traditionally sits on top the tree interested me because I don't know anyone who puts a fairy on.

I wanted the M&S advent calendar that had daily puzzles, but my mum didn't get me it. I could have bought it myself, but never managed to get there in time.

^ I like that idea :D... I might do it next year!

Mines an angel...wearing a kids penguin hat - she's cool like that :)

Haha yes! It's quite a weird top to put on a tree. It never seemed christmasy to me =P

An angel that is 20 years old.
I made her when I was four. She looks like she's been through the wars and only has one wing and no hair. My mother will continue to put her on the top of the tree till all that's left of her is the kitchen roll insert she's made from.

We had a Fairy up until last year, She was getting abit shabby so we have a santa now. :/

It depends on what we've got, I don't think we've even got any ornaments because Mother went on a rampage and threw away everything last year, including the Christmas tree.

EDIT: Just went downstairs and found out we've got a 3 ft tree with a red ribbon tied at the top. Funny I didn't even notice.

mine is an angel

We have a 22 year old wooden angel that was given to my elder sister when she was born near Christmas and was in paediatric intensive care. We have had it ever since and it has a lot of memories attached to it. My dad calls it a fairy though. Silly man, it is quite clearly an angel!

A wire and bead angel. It's pretty. My mam has an angel that she's had since before I was born. I'm almost 29!
