My frustration. In the last 4 days I have visited several retail establishments looking for an African American tree topper. I did see a very nice black angel tree topper at one of those stores (Michaels), but she was much too large for my tree. None of the others (Target, K-Mart, Walgreens, JoAnns, Marshalls) had black ornaments, tree toppers, etc. When walking down those aisles all I see is rosy cheeked white Santa's or blonde haired, blue eyed angels staring back at me. When employees were asked about this they always seemed shocked and surprised that I was looking for a tree decoration that looked like me! All looking at me as if to say "What's wrong with the Santa's we have, you know Santa's white don't you!" (I will give some points to Marshalls. They did have a selection of black angels, but they were table decorations)
So, all that to say 40 friendship points to anyone that can tell me where I can get a 4" African American topper either a Santa or an Angel.

I live in CO Springs, CO and my children are bi racial so I looked for a black angel tree topper as well. I found a couple of white ones at Walgreens and to my surprise, I went to another Walgreens and that was all they had. 2 different ones and a black santa tree topper. I didn't see that you can buy them online. I can post a pic if you want to see the angels?
