Tim and Beth Merck founded the Merck Family’s Old World Christmas. The couple shared a special love for Christmas, especially the traditions in the European style. Tim and Beth are credited with revitalizing the art of mouth-blown fine glass ornaments. Today, The Merck Family’s Old World Christmas is one of the leading distributors of the world’s most extensive and beloved collections of mouth-blown figural glass ornaments.
With the holiday season in full swing, make Winterwood your one-stop shopping destination. As the area’s largest Christmas shop, Winterwood presents their thousands of ornaments on their very own trees. Strung with lights, beads and even topped by Santa hats or witches, each individual tree has its very own design theme coordinated to the theme of the room it stands in. Each display is truly a sight to see. In the food and beverage themed room, pizza, spaghetti, ice cream, keg, chips, fruit and vegetable ornaments line the walls. Eat, drink and be merry! Be sure to check out the themed lights including pizza pies, brands of beer and martini glasses.
