@Bettyanne Thank you Smiley Happy

I just edited my post and added a few more pics...

Also, if you google 'vintage star tree toppers' and 'vintage angel tree toppers' you will have a lot of fun with the variety. Many are found at EBay or Etsy.

 

We hung one tree topper on one of our front windows last year (pic below). I bought several so I can switch them out from year to year. We can't have holiday decorations outside because they have gotten stolen more than once. I also can only put one of these up each year in one window because of our security cameras. It's still cute and better than nothing at all Smiley Happy

We have used a Waterford star, on our main tree,  given to us as a gift a million years ago.

On our second tree in the family room, we use a Lenox tree topper.  Again, given to us as a gift a million years ago. 

 

I can't find a picture of it.

@Susan Louise ~ I love your retro tree😍  The ornaments bring back many, cherished childhood memories.  

 

I have used a lit angel angel tree topper for many years, just a personal favorite👼🏼

 

We we had our first snow today.  No accumulation, it was a heavier, wet snow and melted as it hit the street.  ❄️💦

@AKgirl2  Thank you! It was so much fun collecting the vintage ornaments and tree toppers last year...most on EBay and a few from Etsy. Some ornaments I bought individualy and others in small lots in auctions.

 

Here in Nebraska we had our 1st snow a couple of weeks ago...3" accumulation and it was the heavy snow too...LOL

It must be wonderful living in Alaska. Someday DH and I want to take a trip up after DH retires. We especially want to go to Katmai NP to see the bears at Brooks Falls Smiley Happy

When I was a child it was always a star or angel.  I think Santa made an appearance one year too.

 

Over the years I switched to a big ribbon.

 

Last year I had a peacock up there.  My tree is pink with shades of aqua, pink, and purple ornaments.

I have used a lighted angel as our topper for quite a few years.  i like the brightness on the top of the tree.  Growing up, my Mom used glass finial-type toppers.  They did not light up but were very pretty.  The tree is my favorite decoration so I like to take my time and get is just right.
