A lot of things like decoration, tree toppers, ornaments, lights, etc. are associated with the Christmas tree. Both artificial as well as real Christmas tree uses accessories like tree stands, tree skirts and tree mats. All these things have become part of the Christmas tree decoration. A tree mat is put on the floor on which the tree stand is placed. The mat protects the floor from damage through water and there will be no scratches. Once the tree is erected on the stand, a tree skirt is placed round the stand.

In earlier time, the skirt was used to collect the falling needles of the tree and dripping of wax from the candles. In those days, there were no electric bulbs, LED lights and therefore, candles were lit around the tree. Today, even if there are dripless candles, the Christmas tree skirt is used as decorating item. This skirt helps in hiding the stand, which is quite big and bulky. The gifts are placed underneath the tree on this skirt. The skirt is a platform on which people arrange the Christmas villages and other decoration items. This gives a great and attractive look as the decoration begins from the bottom of the tree and end with the topper on the top side of the tree.
