The World's Largest Christmas Store

On the way back down from Dave's mom's house (Thanksgiving visit), we stopped at Bronner's Christmas Wonderland. They claim they are the "The World's Largest Christmas Store" and I've not seen anything to dispute that claim! It's a tourist attraction (Frakenmuth is a minute away) but also a year-round store where you can buy all manner of Christmas stuff. We've been once before in the summer and the cavernous store was almost empty - and maybe it was ill-advised to visit on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but it was PACKED! The place is huge, maybe about the size of a Costco or a big box store and it was hard to move around, let alone look at the detail of ornaments. People had carts full of stuff (decor & ornaments mostly) but out of the thousands of ornaments, we found only 3 (gifts) to buy. The couple in front of us in line spent $267! Anyone who comes to visit us might find themselves at Bronner's (no matter what month!). And yes, I'll take you to the Pottery Barn outlet down the road!
