When it comes down to generating delight at Christmas and you get down to the basics of presents under the tree, a fantastic Christmas tree skirt is just the thing to put the finishing touch on the experience.

Christmas tree skirts are fantastic, especially when you do something a little unique with them, or buy one with a compelling design and/or fabric to create great atmosphere when it's time to fetch the presents.

Fabric plays another part of the Christmas tree skirt experience, and it could be quilted, velvet, crocheted, felt; along with a variety of patterns and color.

One particular area that's fascinating and very cool is a personalized tree skirt, which you could even have hidden under the presents if it's the first time you've shown it, and allow the gradual removal of presents unveil the individuals portrayed on the skirt. Lot's of fun and enjoyment.

Below are several Christmas tree skirts to give you some ideas from a variety of patters, designs and materials. 

This very traditional red and white tree skirt shows why it is always popular and works great in any circumstance and home. The white stands out nicely in its great design while the red backdrop offers a rich color to place presents on, around and against.

Keeping with the theme of red on a Christmas tree skirt, this one is a crocheted bell skirt, and as you can see, looks fantastic. The only problem is, is it looks so good you hate to cover it up. Oh well, after the presents are passed out you can enjoy it all Christmas day.

This took a lot of work, but the finished product was definitely worth it, as you can see from this fantastic needlepoint Christmas tree skirt. The trees with the presents under them are outstanding and look great, and the ribbons in the tree branches really add a nice touch.

Here is a different color and theme that we all recognize, and would be a lot of fun under and around the Christmas tree base. The blue colors really stand out, which of course give the children playing a good backdrop to see them clearly. Lot's of fun!

This is probably one of the more unusual Christmas tree skirts I've seen, but for certain parts of the country and world it would really be a relevant piece. Many parts of the southwest, west and northern parts of the U.S. would appreciate it's look and feel.

There are so many types and varieties of Christmas tree skirts that I couldn't even begin to dent them if I included 500 photos here, which would have been really easy to do.

Even so, you can see the great diversity out there just from these few photos of Christmas tree skirts, and understand that no matter what themes, colors or designs you prefer, there is something to fit anybody's tastes.
