Christmas Tree Skirts

Dont get me wrong, I love Thanksgiving. But I am counting down the days until "black friday"-surprisingly not to go shopping but to decorate for Christmas! I get it all from my wonderful mother, who never misses a beat with any holiday. Growing up our home was perfectly decorated (and still is!), and I look forward to each holiday season to see what she has added to make it even more special.

My parents put up three live Christmas trees in their home and my mom has two beautiful tree skirts which over the years she has sewn an image onto with the year on it representing something significant that took place in our family. She has really sweet ones from when my brother and I were growing up, an image of a cruise ship from a wonderful family vacation, an image of our darling sweet departed doggie Dede, and many many more. This year I am determined to be the keeper of family traditions and I am in search of my own christmas tree skirt, one that I will hopefully be able to fill with as many wonderfully beautiful memories as my Mom has.

I have found a couple and only one that I really love but I have run into a dilemma. I want to have the skirt monogrammed or have our family name put on the skirt, but the one from PB kids wont allow enough letters! What to do?? Im going to try and give them a call to see if they will help me out.

This is the one I really like but "The-our last name" wont fit:(
I Like this one as well (the red and white) but just not as much.

If anyone knows where I can find a monogrammed Christmas tree skirt please let me know!

What a wonderful family tradition! I wonder if you could just take a tree skirt to place that embroiders or monograms. I bet they could fit your last name on there.

They are both beautiful, I love your first choice though. Can't understand why PB wouldn't be able to fit your last name on there, it seems like there is plenty of space to work with. Those embroidery places can do miracles with very little space!

I know, I can't wait until I can start to decorate for Christmas too! I want to start now, but the BF says it is too early. Monogram...hmmm...could you just buy a skirt you like and have a local seamstress monogram it for you?

Donna said...

I agree with Loving Life...it is so inexpensive to get it monogramed locally!
