On the Ball Christmas Shopping – Christmas Tree Skirts!

Another basic Christmas decoration that you might like to improve upon this year is your Christmas tree skirt! A really beautiful skirt is the perfect finish to the tree that you’ve probably spent hours decorating. (Not to mention the hours spent untangling strands of lights and replacing burnt out light bulbs!) Here are some options that will allow you to choose the perfect skirt for your tree!

Family Favorites

These Christmas tree skirts feature fun, updated designs in traditional colors.

Mitten Trimmed – this whimsical, wool felt skirt features mitten shaped appliqués around the hem that are just adorable! (thecompanystore.com, $79)

Ribbon Trimmed - this octagonal skirt is made of soft, ivory cotton twill bordered with ribbons of red, green, black and silver. (crateandbarrel.com, pictured above, $79.95)

Mod Style – also from The Company Store, this fun skirt is bold and bright with red pom-pom trim! (thecompanystore.com, pictured right, $79)

Sophisticated

Gold Spice Route – this elegant tree skirt is created from three different shades of gold metallic fabric and is truly exceptional! (christmaspeople.com, $109.50)
Red and Green Dupioni Silk – this beautiful, 72” tree skirt is the ultimate splurge, but also the perfect family heirloom. From Frontgate, the skirt is double layered and hand crafted with a rich, red layer on top and a hand embroidered holly pattern below. Personalization is complimentary. (frontgate.com, $459)

A Final Thought

A special tree skirt is a wonderful addition to any family’s collection of Christmas decorations! From my own personal experience, my husband and I were married in October. A month later, I found myself spending what was for us an exorbitant amount of money for a tree skirt that was hand quilted of moiré, gold and floral fabrics. I still love this tree skirt seventeen years later! If you find something that you love, do your best to make it happen and be prepared to enjoy it for years to come!

Have you found a beautiful Christmas tree skirt? I’d love to know!
