It was my husband's idea that a salty wooden sailor should top our lobster Christmas tree. Luckily, I remembered that we still had one we'd saved as a wedding keepsake: I purchased dozens of these fun, carved sailors at Marine Specialties in Provincetown, Massachusetts, to use as wedding table centerpieces.

It was my idea that our sailor tree topper needed a Santa hat. We borrowed this one from my daughter's Christmas Barbie.
