Downtown Toronto’s Xmas displays at night

Toronto is decorated for the Christmas season, the lights creating colourful displays that enliven the city to dispel the gloom of the long December nights. I have never enjoyed the lights more than this year. The mild evenings have been ideal for wandering the downtown to view the scenes of the season.
