History of Christmas Tree Skirts

It’s believed that the use of Christmas skirts for trees originated in Germany where the tradition of Christmas tree decorating is known to have started. During those days, real Christmas trees were decorated with actual lit candles. A mat was placed underneath the tree to catch candle wax drippings and fallen tree needles. These mats, made of simple and plain materials, were more utilitarian than decorative.

In the late 1800s when Christmas tree stands became popular, the mats evolved into the more modern tree skirts we’re familiar with. The main purpose of Christmas skirts for trees were to hide unsightly tree stands. They became more decorative as families began to embroider and embellish tree skirts to match their holiday décor.

At the time when gifts were hung on the tree and taken down on Christmas Eve, Christmas tree skirts also made perfect spots to set up miniature nativity scenes or Christmas villages. The gift-giving tradition has since evolved and now more families place their gifts under their trees throughout the holiday season. Today, a Christmas tree skirt also serves as an elegant backdrop for presents underneath the Christmas tree.
