What is on top of your Christmas Tree?
A snake skin, intertwined lovebirds, an elf, a gold tin star, a gaudy pink star, an angel, a bow, a top hat, a Radko Santa tree topper with two sunburst reflectors, a stained glass star, A dove wearing a crown, A tarnished tin angel, A star made of capiz shell, peace on earth banner, an owl, a mishape felt Santa's hat, an Eiffel tower, a naked baby….. The list was varied…and like me some of you did not put one up for one reason or another. Whatever is on top or not on your tree may this Christmas crown your heart with peace and joy!

2) A red winged black bird's nest
I had a red beret when I was 5. I'd love to have another…
The top of my tree has a red winged black bird's nest perched on it.
In fact my whole tree has real bird's nests camped all over it. Most
were given to me by my good friend Janet, from Artois, who was always
coming upon nests at her family farm.

3) A gold star
A gold
star sits atop my 2ft tree, I too was not up to putting up a tree but
gave in and bought the smallest fresh tree I could find, it makes me
smile just like the idea of wearing a red beret for Christmas.

4) …the feeling of missing someone,
Alas my
day began with a call from my son saying he was snowed in in Europe and
would not be coming home for Christmas……. the star atop my tree is
not beaming as brightly now. Next year I'm going to leave the tree in
the forest and watch the star twinkle in the sunlight!

5) RED BERET
At the
top of my Christmas tree is a Angel tree topper that was my Nana's. It
used to light up, but it hasn't worked in a very long time. Every time
I think of it, I think of her. I remember it was on her little,
beautifully decorated to the nines tree that sat upon a table in her
tiny apartment every Christmas season. She made a lot of her own
ornaments. One of my favorite things was a faux metal skating rink with
little metal figurines. She made the rink by covering a thin plate with
tinfoil. I have so many memories of playing with her Christmas display
and looking up at that shining bright tree with the Angel on top. So
much love.
