Christmas in the City

the stores were selling Christmas wares like this one at a local supermarket on the danforth as early as after thanksgiving in October.

these poinsettas were photographed at the canyon creek on front street.

danforth is all dressed up for the holidays.

and this is the scene on the danforth going eastbound from victoria park.

sidewalk displays like this one were in abundance.

and this.

this is the park on front street by the flatiron building.

the snowflake Christmas tree display - this serves as the fountain during the summer.

trees like this one are all dressed up with colourful lights.
