Awesome Toronto events happening December 25-27

Well, it’s almost Christmas. This weekend, you’ll probably spend time with family and friends, eat too much, drink too much and attempt to walk the eating and drinking off, until you realize it’s cold outside, so you go back in to warm up, and eat and drink more.

But since even the strongest minds need a break from holiday festivities, here are a few things going on in Toronto (besides Christmas) this weekend, December 25-27.

Eat in Chinatown

Erin Cardone: Born on the Prairies, Erin Cardone grew up knowing there was more to life than canola fields and AAA Alberta Angus. So she escaped, living in Europe and Australia, white-knuckling it through plates of calf brains and raw horse meat, and learning languages she can't remember anymore. After a stint as a jaded, skeptical journalist, she changed tack and began writing rather awesome blogs and showing businesses that advertising is dead, so long live social media, with her businesses Legendary Social Media. She now splits her time between various Canadian cities, Costa Rica and wherever else the wind blows.
