There is a very quaint little village in Michigan, called
Frankenmuth. It sits roughy 125 miles north of Detroit, between Saginaw and Bay City, off I-75. Going into Frankenmuth is like entering another world. The entire village is excatly like an old Bavarian Village. It is truly something to see. It is a village noted for it Bavarian food and the 2 best places to eat are.
The Bavarain Inn
and Zehnder's
but that is not the only reason a trip to Frankenmuth is so much fun, (although the chichen dinners are out of this world, ha ha ha).
What makes Frankenmuth such a fun place to visit is their Christmas spirt and of course Bronner's.
Bronner's is a Christmas store open 362 days a year.
When you first enter the 15 acre showcase, you are greeted by a giant Santa, welcoming you to the land of Christmas.
The store in itself is a very interesting place.
In here you will find the most unique and different Christmas ornaments you could every imagine. Ornaments from all over the world. Large out door scenes and beautiful indoor scenes. And angels. Everywhere you look, no matter from what country you will find angels. The best time to visit Bonner's, is in the evening, when the magic of Christmas turns the 15 acres into a wonderland of thousands of twinkling lights.
Here you seen Santa and his reindeer leap into the air.
And at Christmas the entire vilage join Bronners for a lighting spectacular showcase.
The folowing are more pictures of a town with the Christmas spirit.
City Park in downtown Frankemuth, glows with this majestic Nativity scene.
Zehnder's Holz-Brucke (wooden bridge)greets visitiors crossing the Cass River.
Triangle Park, part of the over 2 1/2 miles of decorations.
And lets not forget the City Hall.
A peek inside St. Lorenz Lutheran Church.
And as you leave Frankenmuth this you will see this sign as it radiates from the riverbank.
I hope you enjoyed this little Christmas trip with me, but there is really nothing like the real thing and I hope if you are ever in Michigan and find yourself driving on I 75, you will stop and visit this fantastic place. And I hope you have a very
Merry Christmas and a safe and wonderful New Year.
