Anna Wintour Threw Out Her Christmas Tree Early Because 'It Was Too Messy'

Anna Wintour Threw Out Her Christmas Tree Because 'It Was Too Messy'

We've always imagined having Anna Wintour for a mom would be something like this.

On Christmas Day, Wintour's daughter, Bee Shaffer, posted an Instagram pic of her presents all in a pile... leaning against the wall and piled on a chair. No festive tree?

Bee captioned the photo: "My mom threw out our tree before Christmas Day because 'it was too messy'"

Classic Anna. We should've known that a regular ol' tree with shedding bark and falling greenery wouldn't do for the perfectionist editor.

But at least we know Wintour does have a soft, tradition-loving side to her. Bee also posted a photo of her gifts, which included pajamas and a "Downton Abbey" mug, with the caption, "AW knows me well!!" We love a mom who gets her daughter PJs for Christmas... even if they are by Proenza Schouler.

She seems a lot scarier when she's in work mode...
