Here's a close up of my tree skirt. It's beautiful. It's made of dark green and red velvet and has lots of hand embroidered ornaments on it. You can't tell in the photo but when the lights are on, the ornaments just sparkle, reflecting the hand made ornaments I have on my tree.

I bought the skirt about 10 years ago at Costco for gosh sakes. They tend to have the most awesome Christmas stuff - gift boxes, glass ornaments, home decorations - however they usually come out in the Summer so you have to keep your eyes open!

Everyones' trees look great! Even though I am divorced and have no family here I put up a tree. It puts me in the mood and I love ooking at it. It takes me 3 days to put it up but it's worth it. It's never really done as I keep moving things around.

Cali love your tree. Yes I wish I had taken photos of Pip's "kills" I was just so astonished and amused about the whole thing I forgot. He keeps eyeing the big birds on the tree and yes I suspect he does have a ladder stashed someplace! Some day when I'm not watching....




PS Here's a photo of my goofball caught up in Christmas last year!
