Tree Skirt

I know the holidays are a confusing time, when we're all telling ourselves lies about how we're going to eat less sugar this time around and not splurge as much on gifts, and then all the sudden we're sitting on the couch watching A Christmas Story while shoving mince pies in our faces with tape stuck to our legs because we're wrapping a neverending pile of presents. It's a roller-coaster. But that's no excuse for this:

I mean, I shouldn't HAVE to point out that "tree skirt" actually DOES mean "skirt for the base of your tree." And yet I could swear I saw one in this exact style on sale at Target the other day. I suppose it's a bit Project Runway-style creativity to cross-breed one of them with a ski jacket, but in all, I am reasonably certain I could stick her under my tree and cover her in presents and no one would know the difference.
