Toronto's Christmas Market 2013 ran from November 29 to December 15 this year. I had the unique opportunity to go with a couple of friends to the Distillery District, which is where the Market takes place. It was very crowded, and much more practical to take the TTC/walk there as parking was expensive and nearly impossible.
The origin of Christmas Market began in Germany in the 1400s, and consist of street vendors who sell traditional and/or local goods to market patrons.
There were carols, warm hot chocolate, hot apple cider, and whiskey tasting in the Beer Gardens all within a few blocks of each other.

| I wish we came a little bit later when it was darker; that way we could see the entire place lit up lights! This would have made for amazing photography! |

| Myself and the girls posing outside the Christmas Tree that was donated by "Trees Ontario" for the Market. There were live carolers and music playing. Lots of young families! |

Next year I hope to go when its darker and the lights go on. I know it'll make for amazing photos!
