We have two trees:
The one we don't have a skirt, and we put an angel on top of that. This is the family tree.
The Lenox tree has my mom's snow village at the bottom- she gets at least one new addition for that every year. She used to put a gold star on top, but over the summer she got a Lenox Angel topper.
"During this performance, please feel free to let your cell phones and pagers ring willy-nilly. However, do remember that there are heavily-armed knights on stage and you might well be dragged up and impaled."
