Bavarian-Themed Christmas Town

Bronner's Christmas Store: Open year round (check for closure if planning a visit on a holiday). 90% is ornaments. I thought $15-$22 was a bit much for one ornament, but check out the clearance section. I got some very pretty ones for more than 1/2 off. In all spent about an hour browsing while husband and son went to the local military museum.

Bronner's Christmas Wonderland was a sight to behold! You're sure to find an occupation or hobby-specific ornament for literally everyone you know amongst the 50,000 items sprawling across 1 1/2 football fields. Penguins have moved to hang out with polar bears and a snowman.

If you plan on going to Bronner's around Christmas time, be sure to get there early in the day, because the crowds are huge later. You can make it through the entire place, but it's just hard to navigate and see everything. Also, if you are going to the Bavarian Inn or Zehnder's for dinner, it is wise to make reservations -- otherwise, plan on being in line for sometimes hours.

Bronner's Christmas Wonderland was well worth the 30 minute trip north of Flint. Billed as the largest Christmas theme Store in North America, I could see why. They give you a complimentary map when you walk in. A little strange seeing all the Christmas decorations and it is 90 degrees and September.
