DH says it looks fine but I think it looks silly without!

No, I don’t like the look of them.

brightgreenapple · 28/11/2021 17:04

Yes! I think it looks neater and a bit more 'finished' 😂

Aquamarine1029 · 28/11/2021 17:05

They look unfinished without a tree skirt.

LoveGrooveDanceParty · 28/11/2021 17:06

WTF is a tree skirt?

ItsAllAboutTheLighting · 28/11/2021 17:07

No

MistyGreenAndBlue · 28/11/2021 17:09

No. I think they look weird

MeanderingGently · 28/11/2021 17:11

Yes, it looks much better with a skirt. I don't want to see the underneath, the stand, the stand supports etc. Skirt hides all that and then I put prettily wrapped presents on top.

MintyGreenDream · 28/11/2021 17:12

No mine likes to feel a breeze up there

DDivaStar · 28/11/2021 17:12

No although I don't like seeing the feet. We purposely bought a tree with a basket base and you csb add stones in the basket to weigh it down....

TooBigForMyBoots · 28/11/2021 17:13

Yes. I will not have a half dressed tree.

RocketPanda · 28/11/2021 17:13

I do like a good tree skirt

StormyCornishSeas · 28/11/2021 17:13

Yes we have a skirt. But it's over 30 years old and has special family meaning to it. So the tree skirt itself is part of the Christmas tradition of Christmas

20viona · 28/11/2021 17:15

A wicker skirt. The bare base is a festive tragedy IMO 😂

TokyoSushi · 28/11/2021 17:16

Ours has a wicker basket!

My husband came home from Aldi this afternoon with a wicker skirt! Looks nice and looking forward to our tree with it. Haven't previously used anything and I don't really like the fabric ones but this looks a bit more subtle

DriftingBlue · 28/11/2021 17:20

Yes, trees are naked without a skirt.

Tripledogdare · 28/11/2021 17:20

No skirt, I use presents to hide the stand

MichonnesBBF · 28/11/2021 17:21

Nope, my tree flashes and its baubles hang free Grin

Jibberjabberhutt · 28/11/2021 17:21

I have several trees and they each have a wicker skirt. Makes them look nice and tidy.

Aposterhasnoname · 28/11/2021 17:23

The fabric ones are bloody awful but I love my wicker one.

ThinWomansBrain · 28/11/2021 17:23

No - but I bought a cat withstandable Krinner one a few years ago, they look smart enough not to need one.

Aprilx · 28/11/2021 17:26

Yes my tree skirt is a metallic copper thing, I don’t want to see the stand.

Fatgalslim · 28/11/2021 17:29

Wicker one here too, not a fan of the fabric ones

Neilsfavouritechilli · 28/11/2021 17:32

I wrap the legs in a shed load of tinsel, looks naff but reminds me of Christmas as a kid.

Chocolatewheatos · 28/11/2021 17:32

No I think they look weird
