Top 5 Around Toronto

It’s finally here: December. If you haven’t experienced it already, schedules are booking up, Christmas decorations are everywhere, and the sales have begun! As our friends to the south immerse themselves in Black Friday sales, there are a number of Canadians who join them for the day after Thanksgiving extravaganza  by making a day or weekend trip to Buffalo. Personally, I couldn’t imagine shopping non-stop with a little one in tow and will definitely be home this weekend enjoying the many events Toronto has to offer. Plus, if I really needed  to shop, I don’t have to look far as many Canadian businesses have jumped on the bandwagon to entice the shoppers from jumping the border for the steal of the day.  So if your staying in town as well, make sure you bring your beanies and your sunglasses too! The countdown to Christmas begins on Sunday. Have a great week.
