EDITORIAL: Time with family and friends the true spirit of the holidays
Regardless of your beliefs, Christmas is a time best spent with those you love. In our hurried world, where time is precious, sitting back with those most dear to you is a way to recharge and focus on what’s important.

This connection extends beyond your immediate family; it impacts everyone around you: extended family, neighbours, the entire community. More people seem to have smiles on their faces, wishing each other ‘Happy Holidays’ as they make their way through bustling malls, busy streets, and crowded grocery stores.
With so much cheer in the air, let’s try to extend that spirit of goodwill well beyond the holidays – why not make every day a day to keep happiness alive.

And there are a plethora of ways to do that, whether it’s helping a neighbour shovel the snow, visiting family, calling a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while, or heading out and spending time with your fellow Torontonians.
There are so many activities, programs and attractions to enjoy over the holidays: Why not go for a skate at one of the city’s indoor or outdoor rinks? Visit one of the city’s farms or zoos – yes, Riverdale Farm, and both the High Park and Toronto zoos are open during the winter months. You can also check out the many historic sites – Colborne Lodge, Montgomery’s Inn, or the Scarborough Museum to name a few.
And for the more adventurous among us, why not enjoy one of Toronto’s many trails, including The Shared Path along the Humber River. And while you’re out there, take in a new part of town? The city is filled with amazing places to walk, great local shops to drop into, and amazing food experiences from all around the world.
This holiday season, why not take in everything the City of Toronto has to offer – whether it’s with friends or for some alone time.
