If you decorate a Christmas tree, do you have a tree skirt underneath it? If so, what does it look like? Ours has a holly pattern on a white background. My mom has a red and green plaid one that a neighbor made for a fundraiser for a community organization they’re both involved in. It’s very pretty and Mom was horrified when nobody else bought it so she bought it herself.
Yes. We have a red and green plaid one. When I was first married I had a pretty white felt one, but thirty years of that took away the look of “gently used” and “vintage” and replaced it with “rag”, so we replaced the skirt.
Growing up it was a white twin bedsheet wrapped around the trunk, and it looked fine.
Yes, I have a silver tree skirt with a snowflake pattern. Also have a matching bow to go on top of the tree. I think it was a Martha Stewart special from K-Mart, I bought it about 10 years ago.
I don’t think my mother ever used a tree skirt because I always remember the cat drinking out of the Christmas tree stand.
I have a Martha Stewart K-Mart special, too, bought on clearance probably 10 years ago. It’s gold-colored satin with appliqued partridges and pears. Fake trees need skirts, IMHO.
I have a little tree I put in my front window. I have to have it propped up to clear the couch, so the tree is on top a cardboard box. To cover the cheap looking tree stand and the box, I have a little 18" tree skirt that is a plush red with a black trim. I bought it a few years ago the day after Christmas on deep discount.
For some reason this little tree skirt makes me very happy. I guess it just makes my tree look legit!
Ours is like a circular quilt with various squares with holly, a starry night scene, a tree, an angel, etc.
This is my Christmas tree skirt. (Unless I’m lying.)
While looking for the image, I found this Christmas tree skirt. It’s a hundred dollars off! Only one kilobuck! (Well, $999. Close enough.) When I was growing up, we just used a white sheet.
I like the sheet idea, maybe it’s because we use a cloth tablecloth. It doesn’t fit the table and it’s festive, so whatever works. 
I have an artificial tree. The tree skirt is (fake) velvet, dark red body, dark green binding with gold scroll trim. Growing up, the tree skirt was weird white cotton batting with glitter.
Yeah, but it’s 55% off, if you enter the special code when you order! That knocks it down to a mere $549!
A dog chewed ours up ~25 years back, never replaced it.
So… You shot the dog, and decided not to get another one?
Oh, we had one of those batting ones growing up!
I had a lovely red and green plaid tree skirt, and a while back it was one of those things where I opened the holiday decoration boxes and it wasn’t there. So I figured it must have gotten put into the wrong box, or maybe at the back of a closet, and that it would turn up eventually. In the meantime, I picked up the cheapest of the cheap red felt circles at the dollar store. Fast forward 10 years, and the nice one has yet to turn up, and I was just looking at this red felt rag and wondering why I’ve never gotten it together to go replace it with a nice skirt.
Probably because as soon as I do that, I’ll find the original red and green plaid in the linen closet.
What do you find under the tree skirt of your Scotch pine?
Christmas balls!
What the %*#^$ is in this egg-like nog?
My tree skirt is made of cat fur. Both cats enjoy lying under the tree.
