If you live where it's warm, sunny and bright and want to make your Christmas tree snowy and white, you can do it yourself. Just mix 2 cups of soap flakes and 1 cup of liquid starch with 4 tablespoons of water and whip into a thick, rich foam with an eggbeater. Drops of blue food color make it look better. When covering windows with spray cans of snow, spray first with oil that's used when you cook. It'll wipe off like magic when it's time to say bye to that fresh snowfall look. And that's the On The House tip for today.
