Bronner's

For those who aren't familiar, Bronner's is the world's largest Christmas store. It's located about 20 minutes from my house(probably about 35 minutes for most people, but I was never one to worry about traffic laws). I saw an add for it in the paper last week, and it prompted me to write this blog.

Bronner's is supposedly famous. I don't really know how true that is, because obviously everyone around here knows about it. I guess it must be famous in it's own rite, with little old grandmas who need ornaments to put in their cat's stockings.

I have no beef with Bronner's, in fact I make a yearly pilgrimage there to buy an ornament for my god daughter. There are a few things that trouble me with this store though. First, it's open 361 days a year. One of the four days it is closed is Christmas Day. That is just plain dumb to me.

Also, what ever possessed Wally Bronner to create the world's largest Christmas store? Obviously, it was a good idea, since he's rich, but I would never have thought that it would make a good store. I would like to someday open the world's largest hot dog cart. I would travel around the world to peddle my pig butts to people who eat nasty by-products.
