imagine a thin black wire that is attached to a small disk on top of the tree but below the star that arcs along the natural curve of the tree. there woud be 4 wires two short and 2 long and on the end of each you attach an ornament, preferably in equally weighted pairs.. the centripetal force keeps them just outside the branches and makes them seem to orbit the tree on 2 levels.

       Nice. You could have a Borg Cube chasing the USS Enterprise. Very seasonal. [+]

       A control panel at the base of the tree adjusts wire length and rotational speed for each, allowing stunts and combat flying (and spectacular crashes into the branches)

       That doesn't sound much like the "Spirit of Christmas". Besides which, the phrase you seek is "Assimilate this !".

       Ah, that one. Yes. We are good at adapting ...
