What is a Christmas Tree Topper?

A Christmas Tree Topper is a decoration that is placed at the top of your Christmas tree during the holidays.  Traditionally, two of the most popular types of tree toppers are the angel and the star.  Christmas tree toppers can be very simple or very ornate, and are considered to be the finishing touch to the Christmas Tree. Some tree toppers are changed every year, while others are passed down from generation to generation.
