The best Christmas tree skirts
Anyone who takes more than a passing interest in their Christmas decorations will know that decking your tree with lights and baubles just won't cut it these days.
For good taste dictates we must all buy a Christmas tree skirt to sit over the base of our indoor Spruce if we want to create the perfect winter wonderland.
And while it is annoying to have one more thing to add to the list at this busy time of year, you can relax because we've taken the hard work out of it for you.
Read on to discover our top ten tree skirts which will not only hide unattractive wires, but which will provide a lovely base on which to display all your Christmas presents.
