Classic Movies to Watch for the Holidays

WESTLAND, Mich.,––The Holidays are here, there's plenty of snow on the ground, and Christmas is just 10 days away! If you're looking for other ways than shoveling your driveway to get into the spirit of the season, how about a movie night? You, the kids, and other friends and family can gather up on the couch with fuzzy blankets, slippers, hot cocoa, and popcorn to enjoy some of the most iconic Holiday movies. Check out some of our favorite classic movies to watch for the Holidays, and give them a go this year. Enjoy!

A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

"When Charlie Brown complains about the overwhelming materialism that he sees amongst everyone during the Christmas season, Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas paegent. Charlie Brown accepts, but it proves to be a frustrating struggle. When an attempt to restore the proper spirit with a forlorn little fir Christmas tree fails, he needs Linus' help to learn what the real meaning of Christmas is."

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)

"Sam the snowman tells us the story of a young red-nosed reindeer who, after being ousted from the reindeer games because of his beaming honker, teams up with Hermey, an elf who wants to be a dentist, and Yukon Cornelius, the prospector. They run into the Abominable Snowman and find a whole island of misfit toys. Rudolph vows to see if he can get Santa to help the toys, and he goes back to the North Pole on Christmas Eve. But Santa's sleigh is fogged in. But when Santa looks over Rudolph, he gets a very bright idea..."

A Christmas Story (1983) 

"Christmas is approaching and 9 year-old Ralphie wants only one thing: a Red Ryder Range 200 Shot BB gun. When he mentions it at the dinner table, his mother's immediate reaction is that he'll shoot his eye out. He then decides on a perfect theme for his teacher but her reaction is like his. He fantasizes about what it would be like to be Red Ryder and catch the bad guys. When the big day arrives he gets lots of present under the tree including a lovely gift from his aunt that his mother just adores. But what about the BB gun?"

Die Hard (1988) 

This might be a stretch for some, but for Diehard fans, this is absolutely a Christmas movie! However, we recommend it for adults only. 

"NYPD cop John McClane goes on a Christmas vacation to visit his wife Holly in Los Angeles where she works for the Nakatomi Corporation. While they are at the Nakatomi headquarters for a Christmas party, a group of bank robbers led by Hans Gruber take control of the building and hold everyone hostage, with the exception of John, while they plan to perform a lucrative heist. Unable to escape and with no immediate police response, John is forced to take matters into his own hands"

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)

"It's Christmas time and the Griswolds are preparing for a family seasonal celebration, but things never run smoothly for Clark, his wife Ellen and their two kids. Clark's continual bad luck is worsened by his obnoxious family guests, but he manages to keep going knowing that his Christmas bonus is due soon."

The Santa Clause (1994)

"Divorcee Scott Calvin is disgusted to learn that his ex and her husband have tried - and failed - to break it easy to their 6-year-old son Charlie that Santa isn't real. On Christmas Eve, Scott reads The Night Before Christmas... then receives an unexpected visitor on his roof. When he's startled by Scott's calling out and falls, the Santa impersonator disappears, leaving only an 8-reindeer sleigh and a suit with instructions to put it on. Scott does, and is transported around the town dropping gifts through chimneys until he's taken to the North Pole and informed by a group who claim they're elves that he is now Santa. Charlie is proud of his dad's new job, though Scott's convinced it's a dream."

Elf (2003) 

"Buddy was a baby in an orphanage who stowed away in Santa's sack and ended up at the North Pole. Later, as an adult human who happened to be raised by elves, Santa allows him to go to New York City to find his birth father, Walter Hobbs. Hobbs, on Santa's naughty list for being a heartless jerk, had no idea that Buddy was even born. Buddy, meanwhile, experiences the delights of New York City (and human culture) as only an elf can. When Walter's relationship with Buddy interferes with his job, he is forced to reevaluate his priorities."

The Polar Express (2004)

"This is the story of a young hero boy on Christmas Eve who boards on a powerful magical train that's headed to the North Pole and Santa Claus's home. What unfolds is an adventure which follows a doubting boy, who takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole; during this ride, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery which shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe."

Best Places to See Christmas Lights in Metro Detroit

WESTLAND, Mich.,––It's the most wonderful time of the year! The weather has finally cooled down, we're expecting snow, and most importantly, the Holiday season is here. Christmas is just around the corner and one of many beloved traditions includes viewing all the exciting lights! There are neighborhoods, homes, and places we know to be the best for the lights, so without further ado, here are the best places to see Christmas lights in Metro Detroit:

Hines Drive Lights

This 4.5 mile stretch of Hines Drive, that goes right through Westland, is packed with interesting Holiday lights that you can see from the warmth of your car! Cars can enter for just $5, or with a new un-wrapped toy on December 2nd, 9th, or 16th. Toys collected on these Tuesdays will be donated to the Wayne County Family Center - what's better than giving back locally this time of year?! The road is open Monday-Thursday 7pm-10pm and Friday-Sunday 6pm-10pm. You can enter in Westland at Merriman Road north of Warren Road.

Greenfield Village Holiday Nights 

Greenfield Village is not only host to 80 acres of history, but to a Holiday event that occurs on its main street on special nights in December. Their Holiday Night events take place in any weather and include Santa and live reindeer, fireworks, ice skating, rides in historic Model Ts and horse-drawn wagons, and lots of lights! See pricing and more info on theHenryFord.org. 

Livonia Lights

At 34836 Bridge St. in Livonia, one home will showcase about 60,000 lights and a large tree that syncs up to Christmas music. All you have to do is show up in your car now through January 1st (Sunday-Thursday 5:30pm-10pm or Friday/Saturday till 11pm) and tune your radio to get the full experience. There are a few other homes in Metro Detroit that do this including 2651 Cherokee Hills Cir. in Waterford, 439 Shady Oaks in Lake Orion, and 3111 Paramount Lane in Auburn Hills - so take your pick!

Campus Martius Park 

Likely one of the biggest trees you can see this season in Detroit is right in the heart of downtown at Campus Martius Park! There you'll also find plenty of lights all around the ice skating rink, plus great shops and restaurants to enjoy. The family-friendly skating rink is open seven days a week through the Holidays, and Santa will even be making visits! See the Campus Martius schedule online for more information. 

Detroit Zoo Wild Lights 

The Wild Lights show take place at the Detroit Zoo in Royal oak each year! This year, you can visit on weekends throughout the end of December to walk through the zoo and see large light displays like the photo above. This is a popular event, so ticket pricing varies by hour and day (ranging $10-$16). There will also be visits from Santa, carousel rides, and a Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer 4-D experience for an extra cost. See the schedule and the price breakdown on the Detroit Zoo website. 

Downtown Rochester Big Bright Light Show

The entire stretch of main street in downtown Rochester is covered in lights, and we mean that literally! Each individual building is decked out in strings of Christmas lights. It's a further drive from Westland, but well worth the trip this Holiday season. Be sure to grab a nice dinner, do a little shopping, and take a stroll under the lights everyday after dusk now through January 7th.

8 Interesting Facts About Christmas

WESTLAND, Mich.––Christmas is just around the corner, in fact it's 3 days away! While the holiday spirit takes over, we spend time with friends, family, and loved ones catching up and reminiscing. When the conversation goes null over egg nog or politics, you might want to have something interesting to say to boost the mood! Check out these 8 interesting facts about Christmas that you can bring to the table for a conversation starter:

1. Christmas trees have been sold since the year 1850 in the United States! That's a long-running traditions that we carry out to this day. The trees usually take 6-10 years to mature before being sold. Michigan is the third ranking state for production of real Christmas trees, and produces a larger variety of trees than any other state in the U.S.

2. Speaking of Christmas trees, the Germans were the first to make artificial trees. The first archetype of faux tree was made with dyed goose feathers. They were also the first to adopt the Christmas tree tradition - the first documented appearance of a Christmas tree was in 1531.

3. It's rumored that President Teddy Roosevelt banned Christmas trees from the White House in the early 1900's because he was a conservative guy and a big outdoorsman, but this isn't necessarily true. The first lady, dealing with 6 children, didn't want the extra hassle of a tree. Their 8 year old, Archie had a little tree put in his closet as a surprise and revealed it on Christmas morning 1902.

4. The Oklahomans took a while to officially jump on the Christmas sleigh. Oklahoma was the last state in the U.S. to declare Christmas a legal holiday, and did so in 1907. Alabama was the lead by declaring Christmas a legal holiday in 1836, and even celebrated during the Civil War.

5. Santa started out as St. Nicholas of Myra, a monk that handed out bags of money to the poor. In the 1800's the U.S. adopted Santa as a right jolly old elf thanks to the poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas". By the late 1800's, you could find Santa in department stores, and in 1930 on Coca Cola advertisements.

6. While it may be thought that Christians were responsible for folding the gift-giving part of Christmas into the traditions mix, it was actually the ancient ceremonies of Saturnalia that started the trend before the birth of Christ. The winter-solstice celebrations were done over 7 days, beginning on December 17th. Gift giving was done because the Romans believed it would bring good fortune in the coming year.

7. This day in age, we spend quite a bit on Christmas gifts. Christmas purchases make up about 1/6 of all retail sales in the U.S. Based on a consumer survey, Americans planned to spend an average of $935 during the holiday shopping season this year. All retail sales were predicted to be about $655 Billion, with online sales to be as much as $117 Billion.


8. Travel numbers are also huge in the U.S. AAA estimates 103 Million people will travel for the holidays from December 23rd to January 2nd. About 93.6 Million of travels will be driving, and they can expect to pay a little bit more at the pump than at Thanksgiving. The average price now around Westland is about $2.30 per gallon.


Wherever you travel this holiday season, we want you to be safe on the road!

7 Festive Christmas Traditions in Michigan

WESTLAND, Mich. –– We don't want to start any debates, so rather than telling you why we think Michigan is the best state in which to celebrate Christmas––which, of course, we believe is true––we put together a list of seven festive Christmas traditions in Michigan that help make our state a winter wonderland perfect for celebrating the holidays in.

Bronner's Christmas Wonderland

It's considered a sin to not have an ornament from Bronner's Christmas Wonderland on your Christmas tree if you live in Michigan. Bronner's, located in Frankenmuth, is the largest Christmas store in the world, and the store validates that statement itself when you walk through its doors for the first time. Whether you're looking for unique or specific ornaments, or other decorations, Bronner's provides traditional and modern styles of Christmas decor, and floods your wintery soul with such a Spirit of Christmas one visit should be enough to carry you through the holidays and into January.

Christmas Light Drives

Chances are you live near a drive-through Christmas lights drive if you live in Michigan. It makes sense that Michigan would have a number of these festivals available considering the state is home to the Motor City. Two of the most popular Christmas lights drives available to Michiganders are Wayne County Light Fest, in Wayne County––the county of Detroit––and Nite Lights at Jackson County Fairgrounds. Both of these lights drives do great jobs at blending  their areas' rich automotive histories with Christmas.

"It's Christmas Eve on Woodward Avenue"

There are plenty of famous Christmas songs we all love to sing, but Detroit has a caroling anthem of its own that rivals the biggest American cities' Christmas-themed songs. "Christmas Eve on Woodward Avenue", sung by Karen Newman, has become a Detroit-area and Michigan favorite. In our opinion, it's the best embodiment of the true Christmas spirit that has prevailed even throughout the most conflicting times of Michigan's largest city.

Christmas Tree Farms

Michigan is traditionally a heavily forested state, so it makes sense that it ranks third in the U.S. for the number of Christmas trees harvested annually, producing 3 million trees on average. There are nearly 700 Christmas tree growers in Michigan, and the state grows more than a dozen Christmas tree varieties––more than any other state! You can read more Michigan Christmas tree facts here.

Christmas, MI

The fact that there's a town called Christmas in Michigan, located in the states Upper Peninsula, shows how serious citizens of this state are about Christmas. Although there are other states with towns by this name, Christmas, MI, is a very unique town in which every business and resident carries out the Santa Claus theme. Learn more about the town here: http://bit.ly/1IKsU0H

Christmas at Crossroads Holiday Magic

If you're looking for the original Polar Express, visit Huckleberry Railroad in Genesee County for Christmas at Crossroads Holiday Magic. During the holidays, Michigan families enjoy festive nighttime rides, can see costumed villagers preparing their homes and shops for Christmas, visit with Santa Claus, and enjoy many more festive holiday activities.

Christmas Tree Lighting

 

Every town has their own Christmas traditions, but around Michigan there are always strong holiday vibes in the air, or maybe it's the smell of massive pine trees in the centers of downtowns across the state bursting with color as cities light them in Christmas tree lighting ceremonies. Two of the most famous and important tree lighting ceremonies in the state take place in Lansing, Michigan's capital, during Silver Bells in the City, and in Detroit during the Detroit Tree Lighting Ceremony at Campus Martius, the central park of downtown. Although a litany of Michigan Christmas traditions exist, there's nothing like attending a Christmas tree lighting ceremony to welcome the holidays in Michigan.
