We’re 2 days away from the official start of the holiday season and people are getting ready to put up their Christmas decorations. For many people they’ll be setting up and decorating their Christmas trees the weekend after Thanksgiving. When decorating our tree I like to play holiday music and snack on a batch of homemade cookies.

When it comes to decorating the tree the tree topper plays one of the most important parts. The type of topper you select says a lot about your decorating style. Are you a classic decorator? More into trendy? How about whimsical? What’s your personal holiday style?
Things have really changed over the years and these days you can find thousands of different Christmas Tree Toppers and each one is special and unique as the next. My grandmother tops her tree off with a classic angel, my mother uses a lit star and I’m more of a traditional person who tops off our tree with a jolly old Santa.
If you’re looking for something new and updated for the season here are the top 5 Christmas Tree Toppers to make our holiday list.
Kurt Adler Lighted Angel Tree Topper stands a little over 12″ tall. She’s the perfect angel tree topper for those who love angels! What I really like about this one is that she’s pretty enough to leave out all year long displayed in a hutch, bookcase, shelf or on a buffet. Perfect for the angel collector too!
Kurt Adler Capiz Shell Star Tree Topper is what my mom uses to decorate her coastal themed Christmas tree. It stands almost 11″ tall and features 10 little lights within the star. My mom has this exact one and has been using it for the past 4 years. It works on any size tree that you may be using.
Kurt Adler Lighted Santa Tree Topper is perfect for the Santa collector or for anyone who loves decorating in the classic, traditional Christmas theme. This handsome guy stands 10″ tall and will be the perfect finishing touch to your tree this year. I can see him also being used on the mantle nestled amid your favorite pine garland.
Angel Tree Topper with Garland of Poinsettias is perfect for those of you who decorate in an old world Victorian theme or for the angel collector. She stands 16″ tall, so perfect for the larger tree too! She’s beautifully dressed and you gotta love those white feathery wings!
Snowman Tree Hugger Topper is perfect for those of you with young children at home, the young-at-heart and/or for the snowman collector. This jolly fellow stands a little over 14″ tall and will bring a smile to your face. Decorating a tree at church, school or a daycare? How cute would he be!!!!

We have several different toppers,but my favorites always are the star and sometimes an angel.
We have tons of older ornaments I The topper we have used for some time is one my Mom made many years agoand was on our own tree as kids. It is an old star type. It looks homemade, but it works well. Many of our ornaments are hand made from Hubby’s Grandmother and Aunt. It doesnt look like Good Housekeeping trees but hey all have meaning.
Our tree topper is an angel that is over 100 years old. Talk about a long family tradition.
The angel tree topper is precious! I have an angel that was my MawMaw’s that I cherish. Hard to believe Christmas is around the corner.
I like all of these, especially the snowman. Right now, we have a big red bow with jingle bells on it.
