The tree was huge and gorgeous. Here I am ...
And here's Gord ...
I've been a Yelper since July and introduced myself to Vivek, the Toronto Yelp Ambassador, at the Yelp booth.
Need to warm up? Sit by the fire for a while with some hot chocolate or coffee.
How about a ride on the ferris wheel? I'm a wimp so I passed.
There were lots of people out and about.
We walked around a bit and then checked out the PMA Wine and Spirit Lounge.
Considering it was -8C with the windchill, these hot mulled wine warmed us up.
We had a beer at the Mill Street beer garden ... here's Gord with their beer wench (she was so cold!).
We checked out Sleeman's beer garden.
We sat by one of fires. Hot fire, cold beer ... an excellent combination!
Living in downtown Toronto, we don't get to spent a lot of time sitting around a real fire and we enjoyed it. So we ended up staying there for a couple hours. Gord kept the fire going (we went through two bags of wood) and it attracted lots of people wanting to get warm ... he was rewarded with a mug of beer by the beer seller.
We were getting hungry and on the hunt for supper. The restaurants had an hour and a half wait to be seated so we walked west towards St. Lawrence Market.The lights were so nice when we left.
Definitely a fun time and something for everyone! We look forward to checking it out again next year.

Really pretty, but I think I'd need a few more of those mulled wines!
Oh my, on one hand I think how much fun! On the other hand I think "can I too drink beer with mitts on"? I might have to see if I can coral the usual suspects.
Will definitely come with you and Gord next year. Looks like so much fun and the fire looks so cozy.

Sounds like fun (but cold). The drinks look so interesting and I love the fire! I have never been to the Distillery District - I really need to change that.
that ferris wheel does look kinda scary doesent it!
