Mr Christmas Died

[nilhil_glory]

FRANKENMUTH -- Wally Bronner, whose Christmas retail empire made Frankenmuth one of Michigan's most popular tourist destinations but who strove to keep the focus on the Nativity and Christian tradition, has died. He was 81. His relatives notified employees of Bronner's Christmas Wonderland last week that he had inoperable cancer.

Kinda big news for michigan, especially since bronners had a billboard down in florida off of I75 advertising for the place

I read about that. It's sad! I like that store!!

And he sounded like such a nice man.

I love that store too. It always makes me happy. I feel like a kid when I go there.

At least he knew before he died, that he made christmas special in everyone hearts and minds. May he rest in peace.

That's a very sweet thought. I think you're probably right.

Aww. This is sad. It's gonna bum my mom out.

I love Frankenmuth. Jon and I are going to go there soon. We go every year, sometimes several times.
