two of my favorite annual holiday happenings

The Christmas holidays are a time filled with traditions and special events spent with friends and family. Since moving to Toronto and spending last Christmas in the city we started some fun traditions of our own. We decorated our apartment with festive decor and trimmed the tree while enjoying spiked hot cocoa and we also took advantage of some of the fun events held in the city:
1. Walking around the One of A Kind Christmas Show is a great way to find unique gifts for the creative types on your shopping list and there are so many beautiful items to look at as you explore all the artisans booths.
2. The Toronto Christmas Market fills you with a festive holiday spirit immediately upon arrival. It feels like you're in a European village and it's so much fun walking around on a snowy night, enjoying a cup of mulled cider and looking around at the booths and shops.

I would strongly suggest penciling both these events into your holiday calendar because neither outing should be missed!

I'd love to know, do you have any fun Christmas traditions or favorite events in Toronto? Did anyone attend the Santa Claud Parade this past weekend?
