Cozy in front of a fire with a cup a ho-cho and your favourite human. Gaze on twinkling lights strewn across streets and door frames. Watch A Christmas Carol for the bazillionth time. Hear the scraping of ice beneath your feet as you glide on the ice. These are just SOME of the Christmas Feels you can find downtown this holiday season!
