There’s a great town in Michigan called Frankenmuth. The main strip of the town is set up like a Bavarian village, so you’ve got a lot of German-style stores with little nick knacks, cheese hauses and rival chicken restaurants right across the street from each other. There’s also a gigantic Christmas store on the outskirts of town called Bronners. It feels as big as two Wal-Marts. You can get all kinds of decorations, ornaments and pretty much anything you can imagine related to the holidays there. I used to go with my parents because the company my dad worked for a while back had their headquarters nearby. After that we’d go back year after year. Em’s even gone a few times. After we got married, my parents treated us to a bunch of decorations there, including some you’ll be seeing in the coming days on this blog. Anyway, this is all a long-winded way to tell you guys that we saw this awesome guitar-shaped, Elvis-themed Christmas tree there that I kind of wanted to get even though I in no way support fake trees and am not that big of an Elvis fan. But just look at this cool tree, it’s even got machineheads and strings made of lights. Awesome!
Here’s a few close-ups of the ornaments on the tree and there n the bottom:
Pretty awesome, right?
