Christmas Tree Toppers

Besides the Christmas ornaments, if there is one thing that lends beauty to a Christmas tree, it is the tree toppers. Since they are placed at the top of the tree, they catch much more attention than any of the other Christmas tree ornaments.

When it comes to choosing them, the star and the angel are the most popular amongst people, due to their religious connotations. The star and angel represent the "Star of Bethlehem" and the angels who announced the birth of Jesus to the entire world. However, now, with so many changes taking place with regards to the way Christmas decorations are done, for instance, people going in for artificial trees instead of the real ones, with colors such as pink and black being used in the décor instead of the traditional green and red, a lot has changed with regards to the kind of toppers that people opt for.

If you search online, you will be amazed at the kind of variety there is for Christmas tree toppers. For people who like subtlety, there are the simple ones made from paper. For those who like all things bright and dazzling, there are the LED blinking ones.

Star
If you are someone who always goes by the traditions, opt for a star with multicolored blinking lights. If you are willing to invest more, you will find tree toppers made of crystals, in various shapes and styles, which if added to your Christmas decorations, will enhance their beauty beyond words! To add a bit of twist to the traditional decorations, there are star tree toppers available which come with a clock. So go in for these, to have some fun this Christmas.

Angel and Santa
You can also go for Santa or angel tree toppers. The ones made from resin and metal or resin and fabric are really popular these days. You can select from angels that are plain white and silver to those that are adorned with red dresses or have flickering lights hidden in their gowns!

Animals and Superheroes
For those of you who are looking for a change in the way their Christmas ornaments look, there are lots of unconventional ideas to consider. For instance, tree toppers made like animals such as cats and bears are extremely popular with the kids. So if you have small children in the house, you can pick these for Christmas. Superman, Batman and Spider man are some other choices you have to please your kids.

Dragon
This is one of the most unusual, yet easiest tree toppers to make. Simply, make a drawing of a dragon on a card stock paper, after doubling it. Next, cut out the two dragon shapes. With striking green color paint the dragon and make its eyes and mouth with red color. With a glue, stick the two sides together, leaving the bottom apart.

As you can see, with a bit of imagination, you can convert almost anything into unique Christmas tree toppers. Other options that you can consider are - a pumpkin, stuffed toys, any antique pieces such as Victorian tea cups, miniatures of famous buildings or even a football, if you are into sports! The more wackier your choices, the more your guests are going to talk about them. Ultimately, it's your choice whether to go by the traditional angel or these bizarre, attention-grabbing tree toppers!
