Most families have their special family traditions when it comes  to the Holidays and for many that includes cutting your very own  Christmas Tree.  The experience itself makes memories to cherish.  We  compiled a list of some of the Tree farms around the area you can try  including some I went to as a kid myself with my family.  

 One of my many favourite Holiday  experiences are both participating in and shopping at the Holiday  Markets.  This year, like everything else the Holiday Markets will not  be the same.  However, the show must go on so most are still going ahead  although with a lot of modifications and cancelling of certain annual  traditions to continue to follow safety guidelines. 

  However, for the parents that opting for online shopping, the new virtual Holiday Markets are a welcomed treat. 

Although  this year will look a bit different than usual, the Christmas spirit is  still here.  Since most of his usual HO HO HO HOT spots have been  cancelled this year, we managed to find a few places to see the Big Red  Guy and give him your list, some virtual and some in person. 

Check back often for any changes or cancellations that may happen due to Covid and we will try to find more spots as well.  

  Christmas just isn't Christmas without gingerbread! A fun take on  the  classic, this Pretty Peppermint Gingerbread House is decorated  with  green, pink, white and red pouch icings, so no need to make and  color  your own! Candy canes add a fun twist to this house and the soft  pink  and bright red colors are sure to compliment almost any Christmas  décor.                                                                                 

There is no better way to get into the holiday spirit then to bake some of those yummy festive treats.   Enjoy that sweet aroma throughout the house all while making those special memories with the kids that will last a life time. 

Get out the scissors, paint and glue and get their imaginations roaring. In my house, we craft almost every weekend but our favourite time of the year is the Holidays.  We start decorating our house on November 1st and by Christmas my house is full of my kid's beautiful, imaginative & festive creations

Running a holiday sale or weekly special? Definitely promote it here to get customers excited about getting a sweet deal.

 Diwali is the Indian festival of lights, usually lasting five days  and celebrated during the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika. One of the  most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual  "victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over  ignorance" 

  Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days.  The festival is  observed by lighting the candles of a candelabrum with nine branches,  called a menorah.  We found some cool ways to teach and celebrate this  Holiday through crafts and baking.
