Now our Christmas tree is complete with that star on top. I hope that will give me good luck, waheehee. Seriously, it is our tradition to have a star on top of the tree to signify the Star of Bethlehem that guided the magi into the manger. The star on the tree always reminds me of my childhood days.

I know that there are many variations for the Christmas tree decorations like the teddy bear that I removed. With the lights, some do not put the blinking while some others use the colored lights.

@Alexandoy We have a special decoration to put on the top that is called "puntale" in Italian.

@LadyDuck wow that's a unique decoration. It's like the tip of the tower.

That seems to be a family effort and that's what Christmas is all about

Your tree looks very lovely and the star tops the whole thing off very nicely.

Your tree is beautiful. We have the same tradition. We also place a star on the top of the tree.

I hope I am not forgetting anything for Christmas because it is the grandest day of the year for me.
