Does it snow on Christmas where you live? Where we live it is midsummer on Christmas.

The cicadas are singing, the sun is shining, and everyone is wearing shorts, T-shirts, or sleeveless summer dresses. We have no hope of seeing a truly white, cold Christmas unless we make our own! When I was a kid, I used to decorate the tree with cotton balls to try to make it look like snow (which it didn’t), but now I have a better idea.

This year we decided to add a touch of winter frost to our tree with the help of some geometric ice cubes. Create them in blue tones for a frosty look, brrrr! The template comes in two different sizes to give the ice cubes some variety.
