What's on your tree?

You can thank Fr. Christian for inspiring this post. He has a post about Christmas trees at his place. Anyway, here's a few things on the, yes, fake tree this year:

Angels & lots of them.

Well, there's lots of these little Santa guys. Like a lot of us, Tigger's just barely hanging on! If you want your holidays to remain peaceful & serene, do not go to Savage Chickens to find out why Tigger is the only one!

Garfield pie-eyed over his new teddybear. Tweety scoots along his/her Vespa - a mid-70's Primavera 125, from the looks of it. Watch that oil/fuel ratio or you'll be getting a nice road rash this year!

Santa already brought Buzz an early present this year: givin' the Dawgs a sting. What Christmas tree is complete without a pickle?

The Blessed Mother is well-represented, naturally.

Keeping Christ in Christmas & on the Christmas tree. In my world, all tree tops should look like this. Not blinking stars, not fairy-looking angels. Like this. It symbolically points to heaven. It indicates something beyond our grasp & understanding. It points to the Mystery of the eternal & omnipotent God that became a child. It points to the Incarnation & from there to Salvation.
...
Can your blinking star do that? Didn't think so.

What if the star is not blinking? Perhaps it can symbolize the profound? Please advise.
