Gotta admit, as an agnostic who was raised gently Christian, that’s part of the reason I’m still comfortable putting all this stuff up in our house. Took a while to figure out a tree topper I liked but one year a saw a dove and that feels less religious to me.

We use a stuffed hamster toy with a santa hat.

Call it the "Ham-star"

We just use a Santa hat. Looks great as a topper. Gotta tilt it slightly.

Oh yeah, the tilt would make it. I’m fond of wild birds so a bird on my tree made sense. Also, to quote Portlandia, “put a bird on it!”

The recurring use of the word bird throughout that series is one of my favorite parts of the show. I love Birdman, the Australian mullet adventurah who shows about at the Air B&B togoonawalkabewt...
