Top 5 Around Toronto

santa-claus

I can’t believe it happened, especially since I made sure to cover it in my previous post. Here’s to hoping you  took my advice and visited the award winning Santa at Sherway Gardens or at the very least, booked an appointment. Why you ask? Well, because I wanted to bring our Mommy group to get a great shot of the babies with Santa, together. Much to my surprise though, Mr. Claus is booked for the remainder of the season. What?! Seriously? It’s barely the first week of December. But it seems his reputation precedes him and we simply didn’t make the cut this year. Wish I had known how competitive it is out there…where’s the spirit? Santa has to work I know, but we Moms are trying to start some traditions here. Lucky for us there are tons of other options, regardless whether they won any awards for it or not. Santa is Santa, so long as he’s sober and a jolly old fat man, we are good to go!

Choosing your Christmas Tree in Toronto

This link gives you a great roundup of local farms composed by Toronto.com Most of these farms are open from late November onwards and are a short drive from the city. It could be a new tradition for your family, or simply a nice outing, either case you will leave with the freshest tree available. Of course, there are trees at your local IKEA or grocery store, but for the freshest, head to a farm.
