"It's Christmas time. We all know that after Halloween, the weather is like a roller coaster. One minute its minus 15 with winds that could throw you about four blocks and the next minute its plus ten and beautiful sunshine. Since I reside in Canada, I've become accustomed to harsh winters with just about everything possible. Ice rain, hail the size of golf balls, four feet of snow in as many hours, complete and utter chaos that we needed to call in the Army to help dig us out! One thing for certain Winter brings Christmas and Christmas brings the Toronto Christmas Market. For the last few years now the Distillery District in downtown Toronto are host to a wonderful and renowned Christmas Market. This market is like no other, there are vendors from all over the world, specialty food and beverage, unique gifts and toys and of course, a magical ferris wheel. However, all of these features are amazing and breathtaking but we're still missing one thing, the TREE of course. The Christmas Market is home to the biggest and most glamorous tree you will ever see. The Distillery district on it's own is amazing and vibrant. Add the feeling of Christmas and it brings the Distillery to a whole new level. I visit the Distillery very often and of course as many of you know, was the host of my wedding. Nothing compares to the magic, the sights, the utter awe that the Christmas Market brings to the Distillery. For four weeks during the Winter, the Christmas Market transforms the Distillery into a winter wonderland. You could almost say it feels like the North Pole and Santa's Workshop. Now for us adults, mulled wine, beer and of course Oktoberfest sausages and turkey legs frolic among the audience. Food is around every corner with many of the vendors offering specialty dishes hot and ready to eat. Of course there are the local restaurants, bistro's, and bars for people to take in the holiday cheer. As always, Mill St, Cluny, El Catrin are among the go to spots for people to relax and enjoy. To me nothing says its Christmas until the Toronto Christmas Market opens. I get that feeling of warmth, family, and joy. There really isn't a better way to spend a weekday or weekend with the person or people you love unless you're at the market. Don't forget to take a picture by the tree, it truly is breathtaking.
