The Christmas Tree Shop and The Crystal Shop are two shops that make ice cream and other holiday items.

The store in Bloomingdale is located in the same building as the holiday shop.

The Crystal Store sells frozen ice cream.

They both opened in 2014.

The shop has been open since 2001.

A large sign near the entrance shows a Christmas tree with a Christmas greeting.

It’s been closed since the end of last year.

“We were open for years,” said owner Lisa Buehler.

“It was the best Christmas gift ever.

Now we’re shutting down.” 

I asked Buehl if she thought the holiday atmosphere was the reason for the closure.

“Absolutely,” she said.

“I mean, it was so much fun.” 

The holiday shop has also closed in a few other parts of town, including in Washington, D.C.  There’s no word yet on when the Crystal Store will reopen.
