I hosted a number of garden bloggers recently for a technical pow-wow-slash-holiday party and the tree topper we ordered from Etsy hadn’t yet arrived.

| Antique gold paper star from Kissa Design |
Five minutes before people arrived I tied a spent Allium schubertii to the top branch.
I think I like it better. The gold star arrived a few days later and is hanging like mistletoe in our entryway.
I think stars atop trees are supposed to represent the star that the Wise Men followed to Bethlehem? A bunch of dudes following a funky looking onion across the countryside makes about as much sense as the rest of the Christmas mythology to me, so this suits us.
