    Stockbridge Massachusetts is an historic town. Grew up close to there and have family who live there. i’m not sure if you know who Norman Rockwell the famous painter is, but he lived in Stockbridge and grew out there. All of his famous paintings are in one building on Main Street. I spent most of my childhood in Stockbridge. It is an extremely beautiful town.

    Check out a video of Bronner's Christmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth Michigan. It's a store that is open all year, only sells Christmas decorations and is the size of 1.5 Walmarts.

      Just went to Frankenmuth on Saturday and had a wonderful time even though we picked a freezing cold day to go. We loved the whole vibe with the Bavarian architecture, the Christmas lights all over town, the chicken dinner at the Bavarian Inn, all the shops and of course Bronner's. It was a good time!

    Frankenmuth, Michigan was 20 miles from my childhood home. The largest Christmas store in the World. My parents went there every year for a seasonal visit

    That second video suggested at the end (10 Best Christmas Towns) looks like it features our own Frankenmuth here in Michigan, known for the store Bronner's Christmas Wonderland, which bills itself as "The World's Largest Christmas Store." If it has anything remotely to do with Christmas, you can find it at Bronner's. There's also the SnowFest, which is a snow and ice sculpture festival that encompasses the collegiate-level national championship. The town itself was founded by settlers from the Franconia region of Bavaria (the name is literally "Franken" from Franconia and "muth" for courage, meaning "the courage of the Franconians"), and their German heritage is echoed in the architecture and culture. It's even nicknamed "Michigan's Little Bavaria." So Christmas in Frankenmuth can have a really cool storybook vibe to it.

    I can’t believe they left out Frankenmuth, Michigan! You can celebrate Christmas all year round there! Bronner’s CHRISTmas Wonderland is the world’s largest Christmas store. To say it is huge is an understatement! You have to see it to believe it!
    Another Michigan Christmas attraction is the “North Pole Express” steam train, featuring the Pere Marquette 1225 steam locomotive. It was featured in animated form in the movie “The Polar Express.” The round trip begins in Owosso, Michigan, and takes passengers to the village of Ashley, Michigan for a two-hour experience at the “Ashley Country Christmas” before returning to Owosso. It runs from the end of November until shortly before Christmas. Tickets go on sale in July, and are quickly sold out!

    Merry Christmas, Beesleys!
    I grew up in Keizer, Oregon [~42 miles / 68 km south of Portland]. While I was in high school, a nearby neighborhood started a 3 mile (~5 km) route of homes decorated with many Christmas lights. It definitely boosted local traffic during Christmas time. It's on its 38th year. It also collects donations of cash and food for a local food bank.
    I live about 2 hours away (by car) from Leavenworth, Washington. It looks amazing when covered with snow. The surrounding mountains really add to view. It is a gem within Washington state.

    Millie you should check out Bronners Christmas store in Frankenmuth Michigan. I'm pretty sure it's the world's biggest Christmas store. It's open all year. It's an amazing store with really cool things. I'm sure there's an online tour or something. It's really something to see.

    The story of how Leavenworth became a "Bavarian" town goes back to the 1960's. A resident had just returned from the Passion Play in Oberammergau. She noticed how the mountains of the area resembled in Germany. Since they had recently had a large fire, the town decided yo build it back in the Bavarian style.

    II'm from Duluth MN and Bentleyville is amazing for a Christmas display. It can get very busy though. We do also have extremely cold weather sometimes. Today (Christmas Dad it is warm 33 degres F) but we can sometimes get -40 F not including the windchill factor. Bentleyville is right on the harbor of Lake Superior and can be very windy. We have had very little snow this year and last, we do sometimes get ice storms, but the 2022-2023 winter we set a record with a snowfall total of 140.1 inches (3.55 meters)

    Many years ago, a many in Arkansas was embroiled in a famous court case involving 8 million holiday lights he had throughout his property (that could even be seen from space!). He lost the case and had to surrender 5 million of the lights.
    What do you do with 5 million lights? Well, you give them to DisneyWorld, of course!
    About 10 years ago, my daughter & I went down to FL to see the AR lights, and it was pretty spectacular! Disney does Christmas up BIG TIME, including a nationally televised parade.
    If you like Christmas and lights, it’s definitely worth the trip!

    unmistakable. It's about 3 hours drive from where I live. I've been there many times. Best to go before Christmas when it's snowing. Just magical. After Christmas not nearly as crowded. Without snow it's not nearly as fun.

    Did you hear that Louisiana has a drive-thru bar where you can pick up a drink and drive through and go somewhere and drink it? They do the same thing in Wichita here. You could do that. It's kind of weird. I mean that's like drinking and driving isn't it? I think you have to take it somewhere then have your drink

    Did you have a great American Fish Taco? Oh, to die for !!! But make sure it isn't breaded fish (cod is fine or any white fish), has lime juice on it, and pico de guio (tightly sliced fresh tomatoes & onions), and cilantro, and guacamole, on bacon-grease friend corn-tortillas. I think it was at Rubio's in San Diego, where I first ate it.
