Christmas Tree's in Toronto

I just loved this article from Toronto.com about where one can buy their Christmas tree in Toronto (see below). We used to go out Taylor's tree farm and loved the tractor rides and hot chocolate. Dress warmly and bring cash for the tree. They can run up to $75 or more depending on the species.
Enjoy!

If you’re looking to buy a real tree without making the trek to cut it down yourself, try St. Lawrence Market, East End Garden Centre, Evergreen Brick Works or ordering online through EZ Tree. There are of course trees for sale at stores like Loblaws or Ikea, but the freshest options will always be at a tree farm.

Sad to see you go

I loved shopping at Ko's in the original Don Mills indoor mall and at the new Shops at Don Mills.  It's been a part of the area for a long, long time and it will be sad to see it go. If you have a chance, please stop in before it closes.

Thank you!
