Lessons Learned from Boxing Day

For the first time, ever I woke up early to go for Boxing Day shopping. I had done Black Friday this past November and was amazed at the number of deals. Most stores went all out! I was disappointed with the sales that were available for Boxing Day. I was not in the market for electronics so I was interested in clothing sales and kitchenware.

Merry Christmas!

A very Merry Christmas from me to you :) Wishing you a safe and happy holiday. See you in 2014!

Toronto Travel: Toronto's Christmas Market

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.

This year's Christmas Market was sponsored by Lowe's.
