Toronto Christmas Market Renamed To The Distillery Winter Village

 


I heard on the news the other day that they were renaming the Toronto Christmas market to The Distillery Winter Village.  It looked the same to me with the Christmas trees, lights and all the other usual festive cheer.  

 

 

I'm disappointed to say the least.  Calling festivals Winter or Holiday instead of Christmas is not right if you ask me.  I don't see this for any other groups doing that with their special occasions to be honest so why should we.

 

We went December 2018 and it was so busy but fun.  All the pictures are from then too so I'm glad I got some good memories.

Loblaw's Maple Leaf Gardens In Downtown Toronto Is All Decked Out For Christmas

 

 
Today my husband and I went grocery shopping at our favorite Loblaw's grocery store and it was all decorated for Christmas!
 
There was so many Christmas items for sale too.  They had so many holiday cakes, as well.  It was marvelous!  I'm going to have to start decorating also.  I can't believe Christmas is about 6 weeks away already.
 
 
I posted more photos on my Facebook if you want to take a look.

My Travels

I'm very lucky to have travel so much and from a young age too.  My husband and I try to go somewhere every year or every other year.   LA, Paris, Rome, NY, Quebec, Cuba are a few places I've been.

I've become quite the pro at packing and living out of a suitcase.  I used to feel a bit uncomfortable in hotels but now I am more at ease.  There's nothing like your own home and your own bed but sight seeing or relaxing by the pool is a good trade off.




I've logged most of my past trips on my Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/annagarastophotography/albums

Flickr has gone pro and limited photos to a mere 1000 pictures so I haven't logged my most recent trip on their because I am not feeling their sub.  If you want to see my most recent trip I posted on here:  https://annagarasto.blogspot.com/2020/09/hiked-in-quebec.html

My husband and I also enjoy sight seeing in our own city of Toronto and province of Ontario.  It always has so much to see and do.  I have posted some of our experiences on this blog.

A Quick Trip To Eataly

We went to the downtown Toronto location yesterday for a couple hours and it was a great time.  Though, their restaurants were closed, their market was open, and full of goodies.  We spent over $120.00 on various Italian delectables.  We will definitely be back soon.
