Top of the Tree

What's at  the top of your Christmas Tree - Star or Angel -  maybe something else - Ribbon, Santa etc?  My imprecise statistical analysis says that 99% are Stars or Angels with Star winning out. 

More importantly did you marry a Star or an Angel? On a mixed marriage, there is a 99% chance that the female wins out on what goes to the top of the tree - even though it is the male who is always responsible for putting the tree up and is the taller person appointed to place the final top ornament correctly centered. 

And whatever you have at the top - it rarely changes over the years.  That same 1950's angel appears on my parents tree year after year. It's like hearing Bing Crosby sing "White Christmas" each year -  a tradition that brings the memories of Christmas' past.

And what was on the top of the Christmas Tree in the final scene of White Christmas?  You better watch it again tonight for the answer.
