MI - Frankenmuth

It took me a day or two to remember how to pronounce the name Frankenmuth, I finally got it after I trained myself to pair Frankenstein and tooth. It's definitely a unique place, and we probably would have had more time to explore it had it not been for the Christmas monstrosity store known as Bronner's Christmas Wonderland!

The sad face in the  middle just wants his mom....

....see a few seconds later and he's happy as a clam. Cute little stinker.

I don't think anyone can fully prepare someone for what to expect upon entering this store! Saying that it's a Christmas explosion doesn't quite cover it...you'd need to multiply it a couple of times. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were warnings in place to advise those susceptible to seizures to enter at their own risk. No joke.

There's so much going on in Bronner's that your eyes literally cannot keep up or process everything you're seeing. We spent hours in this store, and didn't even see everything. You could probably spend days there before you took everything in. The store is the largest of its kind and is the size of 1-1/2 football fields and could probably easily be expanded by another 1/2 and still be slapped full of everything Christmas.

Trees, ornaments, indoor/outdoor decorations, ornaments, stockings, ornaments, Santa costumes, ornaments, lights, ornaments, figurines, and more ornaments. The list of stuff is exhausting. You want Christmas TP? Yup, they got it.

 

Once the shock to the system dulled somewhat, it was a lot of fun to wander around the store and look at everything. All I can say is "wow."
