It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

As a former Eaton's employee, I have always enjoyed how department stores gear up for the holiday season.  So, I had to see the Toronto Santa Claus Parade today, which began in 1905 as the Eaton's Santa Claus Parade.


With 25 floats, 24 bands, 1,700 participants and 3,000 volunteers, the 109th edition of parade made its way along a nearly six-kilometre route in downtown Toronto.

It was great to see the community support for the event. And the parade was a welcome change from a week of  shenanigans at Toronto City Hall.

Yes, the Christmas season is definitely here!
