Bronner's.

Last weekend my boyfriend and I drove down to Bronner's Christmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Apparently it is the world's largest Christmas store. I hadn't been there in about two or three years and Brandon hadn't been there since he was a kid, so on our way back from Bay City after Christmas shopping the day before we decided to drive there and check it out. Turning into the parking lot there was cars everywhere. It looked like we pulled into a busy airport parking lot or something. It had only opened about an hour before we arrived and the parking was completely crazy. We ended up driving around in circles for what seemed like forever and thankfully found one that was not a terrible hike from the entrance. Walking into Bronner's brought back the memories of the craziness. I forgot how packed it was and all of the people bumping into me constantly. I was glad that I made the decision not to bring my purse because i would have had to constantly be checking to make sure that I still had it and that no one tampered with it. We got handed a map when we walked in and I was very thankful that we had it when trying to figure out where all the different ornaments were. We didn't go in there for anything specific, so we just kind of wandered around the different sections and checking everything out. We were a little disappointed in the selection of dog ornaments. Brandon has two Yorkie's and the Yorkie ornaments did not look very realistic compared to some of the other dog ornaments. So in the end we decided to get one that said "I <3 my Yorkie." We also found some pretty unique trees and ornaments like the Bud Light and Budweiser ornament and tree and a tree that had deer antlers coming out of the center of a tree.
