Holiday Giving, Reconsidered
While the holiday season is a great time to share our love, good thoughts, and Michigan-made gifts with friends & family, choosing to make donations to charities in lieu of buying gifts could be a really great way to allocate some extra funds to non-profits that desperately need it. We talk with Rob Collier of the Council of Michigan Foundations and list some great Michigan charities!

The Rouse Simmons and the Great Lakes Christmas Tree Ships
Learn about the Schuenemann family, the wreck of the Rouse Simmons and the annual tradition of the Christmas Tree Ships that carried Christmas trees to Chicago from Michigan. Includes a fantastic video of diving the wreck of the Rouse Simmons.

The Ford Rotunda and the Christmas Fantasy
The Rotunda was commissioned by Ford and designed by legendary Detroit architect Albert Kahn for the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair. After the fair closed, Ford had the Rotunda disassembled and moved to Dearborn, where it became one of the leading tourist attractions in the nation. A highlight was the annual Christmas Fantasy held during the Holiday season.
