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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Eat in Chinatown<\/span><\/h2>\n
