Christmas morning has its own choreography: pajamas, a second pot of tea, and the youngest guest appointed to hand out the gifts. All of it happens at the foot of the tree, which makes the skirt a bigger part of the occasion than it usually gets credit for.
This one spans a generous 60 inches, wide enough to frame a full-size tree and the presents stacked around it. Its silver velvet, a blend of cotton and polyester, is stitched in straight quilted lines that add quiet texture, and a wide border gives the edge a finished, tailored look.
Silver keeps good company with nearly any palette, from classic red and green to an all-white scheme, so it suits whichever direction the decorating takes this year. Guests will notice the tree first, and then they’ll notice how well it’s dressed.
