Toppers For Christmas Trees

The addition of the Topper on the Christmas Tree is like putting icing on a cake. They add just the right finishing touch and enable you to step back, view your work, take a deep breath, sigh and know your job is done for this season. Christmas Tree Toppers come in all sizes, types and shapes from stars of all kinds to angels to gorgeous ribbon creations. In this article I want to focus on Angel Tree Toppers and Santa Tree Toppers.

Fiber Optic Angel Tree Toppers.

Fiber Optic Angels are very beautiful. Their wings come in several shapes and styles. Some Angel wings are a solid material that looks like bamboo and has the fiber optic filaments running through. There are others where the wings are an iridescent Mylar material nestled among fiber optic filaments. Then there are what I believe to be the most beautiful. These have clusters of many, many fiber optic filaments that are used to create a shape or design for the wings and then more loose fiber optic filaments are sprayed across the front of the wings. This creates the most beautiful affects from the fiber optics. These Angels have an adapter that powers the fiber optics. Sometimes the adapter can be a little heavy but can usually be taped to the center pole or trunk of the tree.

Lighted Angel Toppers.

This type of Angel Topper usually carries a mini light candle in one or both of her hands and has more mini lights around the bottom of the base under her gown. These mini lights are the same type of light used to light your Christmas tree. Usually the manufacturer will put a cover, like an acrylic star, over the top of the mini light in each of the Angels hands. This type of Angel Topper has no adapter and will easily plug into the top section of any Christmas tree. There are also Small Lighted Angel Toppers that have a pigtail light cord that allows you to remove a mini tree light bulb from the socket in your Christmas tree and replace it with the pigtail connection. Then every time you turn your Christmas tree lights on the Angel will light up as well. These types of Angels usually only have one mini light that they hold in their hands in front of them.

Animated Angel Toppers.

Animated Angels are very beautiful and can be Fiber Optic with animation, lighted and animated or animated with no lights at all. The animation includes very soft, gentle movements. Basically the wings move forward and back. The arms open and close and the head and torso move in a gentle circle to either the left or right. Sometimes the head will bow down a bit as the Angel moves forward. I have noticed a noise with these Angels. The Animated Angels with Fiber Optic wings will hum and bit and the Angels with feather wings may click as the wings go forward or back. One thing I have learned is never to pick one up by the head, arms or wings and especially not when the Angel is plugged in.

Angel Toppers.

Most Angel Toppers are exquisitely dressed. The fabrics are very gorgeous. They are made from polyester fabrics but have the look and feel of silk or damask and brocade. They will usually have porcelain heads and hands. The difference will come in the hair. Up to now Angel Toppers heads have been completely porcelain, including the hair. Now there are very exquisitely beautiful Angel Toppers with curly doll hair. I have also noticed that the color of the Angels hair is getting a little darker every year. They are not always blonde anymore.

Santa Toppers.

There is nothing like a Santa Christmas Tree Topper. These can range in size from 12 to 20 inches and taller. There are Traditional Santa style Toppers and there are Father Christmas style Toppers. Some have fiber optic filaments in their beards or in the greenery they may be holding. Others can have lights around the base illuminating their robes or they can come completely unlit. All of them will have a long white beard and mustache and will usually carry a pack of toys or gifts. As with the Angels the fabrics used for Santa and Father Christmas Toppers are absolutely gorgeous. I especially like the poly damask coats and the poly dupioni robes.

Raising Angels $19.98 Raising Angels stars Walter, who is an unlucky sort of guy, becoming schizophrenic and entering the world of schizophrenia at a young age. He loses his Mother through a drive by shooting, and goes on with living, his Dad in tow. To make things worse, Walter's best friend, a puppy gets killed in a freak accident when Walter's Dad runs over him in the drive way. Walter becomes lost, confused, and continues to let his self-care slide to the point of self-punishment, beating his head against the wall into unconsciousness. Walter's illness manifested itself to a point where his ravaging anger blew into his 7-eleven boss who was withholding pay. Walter violently pushed his boss up against the refreshment center and was accusing him of theft when the police came and took him to the hospital where he was diagnosed with an illness, schizophrenia. This was a malady he had long kept under cover. But now he had blown his top, and entered the way of life laid out for the medically treated schizophrenic person. Walter takes his treatment seriously, medication and all. He attends a "Life Styles" group where he receives weekly therapy together with other mentally ill people at the Pea Pine Mental Health Center, near his home. He makes progress in the group. It is there he finds a friend, Teddy, with whom he can share his thoughts and visions. After the death of his puppy, Walter was devastated. He sees a number of angels, who come solely to give him advice. He is advised to stick close to Teddy as a friend for the two have much to talk about; the darkness of the underworld. Walter has a girl friend that he confides in, but not about the underworld, which he discusses solely with Teddy. Shyla, is her name, and she is a very close friend, whose sister is also schizophrenic. Teddy falls in love with Shyla's sister, Mindy, at once. All are schizophrenic, except for Shyla, who loves Walter just as much as he loves her. The four friends find a new dog for Walter. Murder and suicide take place at the Pea Pine Mental Health Center. Walter is a witness to the first, and is devastated by the second as he loses a potential friend. The two clients who die are taken to the underworld, and Teddy and Walter see them as they visit Hell in their dreams. Lucifer, the antichrist is expunged from the Universe, for there are no more sacrifices for him to feed upon, and even his own turn against him. After three months hospitalized from the death of his Mother, Walter emerges with a new sense of freedom. He talks to angels, they talk to him. He finds energy in the Star Magnolia tree, which has special meaning to him from a friend down under. This friend being Alli, who becomes a tree after killing herself. A tree in the underworld, on the near side of the river. The murdered victim, Stephan, is left to feed on across the river by the aggregate of alien marauders who inhabit the other side with Lucifer. Lucifer, gone, leaves behind his agents, that come across the now green

From the Ashes of Angels $35.12 Provides convincing evidence that angels, demons, and fallen angels were flesh-and-blood members of a giant race predating humanity, spoken of in the Bible as the Nephilim.* Indicates that the earthly paradise of Eden was a realm in the mountains of Kurdistan.* By the author of Gateway to Atlantis.Our mythology describes how beings of great beauty and intelligence, who served as messengers of gods, fell from grace through pride. These angels, also known as Watchers, are spoken of in the Bible and other religious texts as lusting after human women, who lay with them and gave birth to giant offspring called the Nephilim. These religious sources also record how these beings revealed forbidden arts and sciences to humanity--transgressions that led to their destruction in the Great Flood.Andrew Collins reveals that these angels, demons, and fallen angels were flesh-and-blood members of a race predating our own. He offers evidence that they lived in Egypt (prior to the ancient Egyptians), where they built the Sphinx and other megalithic monuments, before leaving the region for what is now eastern Turkey following the cataclysms that accompanied the last Ice Age. Here they lived in isolation before gradually establishing contact with the developing human societies of the Mesopotamian plains below. Humanity regarded these angels--described as tall, white-haired beings with viperlike faces and burning eyes--as gods and their realm the paradise wherein grew the tree of knowledge. Andrew Collins demonstrates how the legends behind the fall of the Watchers echo the faded memory of actual historical events and that the legacy they have left humanity is one we can afford to ignore only at our own peril.
