#Creepmas - Bronner's!

Every year, I go to Bronner's with my Mom & sisters. 
Bronner's is typically known for a Christmas destination - it's literally a huge Christmas store with hotels + waterparks in the same parking lot.  It's located in Frankenmuth, MI and is also big on Christmas with lots of cool shops & restaurants.  

I didn't take Chuck into Bronner's with me - but he did go along the rest of the day, but of course I changed coats and left my phone out in the car, so I missed a lot of photo ops. 
This was a bell!
They have TONS of ornaments of (almost) anything you can think of.
I'm pretty partial to the maple leaves....
We spent the morning in Bronner's, had lunch at Slo' Bones and then visited some stores in town the rest of the afternoon.

#Creepmas - Glenlore Trails

Glenlore Trails is an "immersive night walk) thru the woods that my sister found somehow and we all went shortly after it opened for the season. 

Of course, Chuck had to go!

I'd never heard of it, since it's not terribly close to our house, so I googled it and got the impression they do a haunted trail at Halloween, too! 

Might have to check into that next year....
They had projectors on the snowmen so it looked like they were singing & talking. 
You could open the doors on these little buildings and there were short videos playing. 
Gingies!
These ornaments were actually kind of creepy.
They must have had hundreds of little projectors out there, since once area had a bunch of these faces on the trees, another area had floating presents, another had ornaments, etc. 
Gnomes aren't really my thing, but he was cute. 
Chuck's hand may have gotten in front of this projector so he was waving on the moon!
These were super cool. 
If you wanted to pay an extra $20, you could get an interactive wand to make some of the displays do stuff.  But we opted not to and there were enough other people there who did have them so we could see what was happening.

#Creepmas 2025 is here!

Although this isn't an "official" bloghop anymore - I'm still going to reference back to it, since that's where I first heard the phrase!

 The 13 Days of Creepmas 
and also see some awesome Chad Savage artwork (some of which is seen above).

btw - if you're looking for some hardcore horror themed Hallowmas posts, you won't find it here. 
Most of my posts will be about my skeleton Chuck and his adventures. 

Here is my house currently.....
The scariest part is the snow!  
It got too freakin' cold, too fast so we didn't get any lights put up along the roof this year.

However, since I took this pic, I got some large lighted snowflakes to put in the windows. 
We'll see if they look like eyeballs or not.... I think they probably will. 
I'm also missing 6 blowmolds - 3 toy soldiers & 3 nutcrackers.
Guess I should get them out there!
Once I noticed I left this guy in the door, I decided to leave him!
