Angels are beings of energy composed of ethereal matter. Angels are androgynous, which means they are neither male or female and cannot take on human form because they are from different streams of consciousness. The word Angel is derived from the Greek world 'Angelos' which means 'Messenger'. Christians, Muslims and many other faiths believe Angels delivered messages warning us of impending danger, and gave instructions as to what to do in a particular situation. Angels have a higher-vibratory rate, that most people cannot see and carry the essence of purity and integrity. They show themselves to us in whichever physical form best suits our immediate needs, and appear to us when we have lost our faith, and trust is broken. The Angelic realm surrounds us on a daily basis and is working in close contact with mankind to help us raise our consciousness so that we become aware of their presences and divine guidance. So when Christmas comes around again, and you are shopping, and the Angels are displayed, this is their way of being by your side, every step of the way.
