2019 Family Holiday Season Bucket List

Time seems to move faster around the holidays.  We've found in the past if we don't make a list of all the things we want to do (and check it twice ;>) we end up missing out on something we love to do as a part of building and maintaining holiday traditions.

Here's what's on our list this year, some of it is new and some of it is longstanding tradition....I hope it inspires you.  If you have any can't miss personal events or Toronto based things to do please share!  I'm checking it off as we go and hopefully we can do all of it!
