Bronner's is the largest Christmas store in the world; but what do you really know about this Christmas wonderland? Here are 10 facts that we gathered from Bronner's website.

1 - There are more than 100,000 outdoor Christmas lights illuminate Bronner's grounds every evening throughout the year.

2 - Bronners erected a chapel in honor of the song "Silent Night" that was written in 1818 in Oberndorf, Austria, at the St. Nicholas church after the organ broke and they believed it would be a 'silent night'.

3 - They have a company motto, "Enjoy CHRISTmas, It's HIS Birthday! Enjoy Life, It's HIS Way!!".
