During the last couple of weeks, I have had several conversations with customers about the height of the Christmas tree they should buy. They have measured out the height of the ceiling and are trying to pick out a tree that will fill the area. The first question I ask is always, “How tall of a tree topper do you plan to put on your tree?”
Tree toppers are often considered the heart and soul of Christmas Tree decoration because many people feel they define the tree. When putting on a tree topper, usually they are tall. Plus, as the tree gets taller, the tree topper generally does as well to maintain a ratio of tree topper to tree height. When deciding on how tall a tree the ceiling will allow, many people overlook the added height of the tree topper. The other day, a customer told me her ceiling was 12’3″. She asked if a 12′ tree would fit. I told her that it would but not if she planned on using a tree topper. She had completely forgotten that her tree topper was 10″ high and wouldn’t fit under her ceiling. She ended up buying a 10′ Christmas tree instead.
