Christmas Tree Top Ornaments

Fairy and other Christmas tree toppers

by: Roy Thomsitt
From my childhood memories, pride of place on the top of Christmas tree always went to a fairy dressed in white. Or was it an angel? No, I'm sure it was the Christmas fairy; and she was usually last to go on the tree apart from the tinsel. One thing for sure, it was always after the other tree ornaments such as the hanging balls.

Life has become much more competitive since then, and the Christmas tree topping fairy has lots of competition now for the top spot, the Christmas-ornament-in-chief position.

I'm not sure if Santa is aware of this, but his insubordinate reindeer are also seeking the limelight behind his back, and will no doubt be seen this Christmas atop many a Christmas tree. Also, the increased fame of snowmen has gone to their heads a bit, and they too may be seen smiling out from the top of lots of brightly decorated trees.

Pride of place on the Christmas tree may also just go to a shape. A star can claim some relevance to Christmas, but other shapes too may be found in the Christmas-ornament-in-chief role. While the Christmas tree fairy was usually a doll, nowadays you get all sorts of designs and materials. Hand painted metal, for example, is now common. As always, though, it is down to budget and taste when it comes to buying your Christmas tree toppers. But at least, you can be grateful that you have a choice that is now quite varied. That used to be far from the case.

Whether you choose a fairy, an angel, a star, or something else altogether, you can always add a touch of uniqueness to your Christmas tree top ornament with a little bit of creativity. All it takes is involving yourself in decorating the tree, with the same zest and joy like your children do, or like you did when you were young. After all, decorating Christmas tree is all a part of the whole Christmas tree spirit and celebrations.

Your Christmas tree ornaments can, this year, bring that special touch of uniqueness for your visitors to enjoy; and your family of course!

Enjoy your Christmas holidays and celebrations!
