Today I spent the entire day home, working! I have had this idea for a tree topper, and I finally had time today to make it. But, when I asked my husband what he thought about it, he didn’t really “get” it…so I thought you all might be willing to give me your opinion. I’d like you to be my “test” group, so please be honest.
Let me explain my thought process. I was trying to use words to convey a message.  I wanted to use the word “SHINING,” as in “Shining Star,” but it was too long. I went with “LIGHT,” for “Light of the World.” Yes, I have a tree in my kitchen already! It is just the one I am bringing to the show, because it is skinny and will fit easily in the space. :) Don’t get me wrong, I am enjoying the “mood” it brings.Â
If you didn’t know the meaning behind it, would you “get” it?Â
 Could you also be brutally honest about the ornaments. I don’t want to waste a bunch of time, on things people don’t want or like. I understand that it is not everyone’s style, but a general consensus would help.  Thanks, everyone!

Love the tree, love the topper. I think I took it as a “tounge in cheek” approach, like instead of a real light, you put light. One of my favorite words (I am actually using it in a small project right now) is SHINE! Or maybe you could use STAR.
Any way you do it, it is still a great tree!

I really like it! I love the ornaments. I think people sometimes don’t look at decorations as a theme, but as a oh that’s pretty kind of thing. I would love to know how you made the stars!

I’m one of those people who’d look at this & go “oh how pretty”. I’d buy it because I liked it. I don’t generally do themes on my tree, simply because I’m cheap & buy all my ornaments after Christmas. So I’m usually left with whatever is leftover & it’s usually not enough of what I’d use to theme my tree. Do you plan on making some with some bling on the tips? I can’t decide if I’d rather see the edges glittered or just maybe a dot of glitter on the tips.
