Last Saturday, my mom and I took a little trip to Toronto. I found the Toronto Christmas Market online and thought that it sounded like so much fun.
I had been searching for a little Christmas excitement and what better than an outdoor market with live Christmas carolers, vendors of gifts from different countries, hot apple cider, and sausage in a bun with sauerkraut, fresh off the bbq.
The market was held in the Historic Distillery area of Toronto. So it was surrounded by red brick buildings (it was funny because there were skyscrapers rising up behind the historic district, so it took away a little of the "old" atmosphere). Santa was visiting, and there was a Christmas tree maze.
It was
freezing, so we only stayed a couple of hours, but we were able to see everything. Some vendors were selling German toys and another was selling Dutch ornaments, and there was alpaca sweaters.
A giant tree stood in the center by a beautiful clock. Beneath the tree was a stage and there were children singing Christmas carols.
As we were leaving we slipped into an art gallery with a coffee shop. The coffee shop was selling hot apple cider with chunks of apple in it. It was delicious! And so nice to have a hot drink on our long walk back to my truck.
