I've been out data collecting homes this year (2009) and have noticed many homes with "decorative" stars on them. They are five point stars and dimensional. I've asked around and no one seems to know if there is any significance to them other than mere decorations. That's extremely hard for me to believe. I've been working all over Montgomery County (Dayton, OH area) and down in Scioto County (Portsmouth, OH area) and they are EVERYWHERE. I've seen them on $1,000,000 homes and on 12x60 mobile homes located in a very secluded hollow (with trash and deer bones strewn all about). Here are some of the answers I've found over the internet by googling the question... 1) The star has a military significance (my first thought... as relating to the star in the window deal... blue star.. gold star.. different colors signify household member in Iraq or Afghanistan, or lost in combat, wounded, etc. etc... 2) Purely decorative with no significance (just hard for me to believe) 3) Signifies a Christian home 4) In Pennsylvania, denotes something about German-Amish tradition 5) In Texas, shows pride in ones state 6) A pagan home celebrating winter solstice 7) Barn stars... supposedly marks or covers the ends of beams in a barn So apparently there is no singular purpose for this very distinct star. It's not like there is a wide variance in the star. I have seen smaller ones and sometimes the star is blue, but the VAST MAJORITY of them are rust reddish brown in color and appear identical as if from the same manufacturer.

I've only noticed these recently, but have seen a question regarding these stars on another site dating back to 2003... anyhow.. it seems this is a home decor fad that has swept the nation... if that's the case... too funny. Bring back the colored gazing balls that used to adorn so many front yards... lol
