Eaton’s Santa Claus Parade

Anyone who grew up in or around Toronto has fond childhood memories of the Santa Claus Parade.  It is the oldest and largest in North America. I remember getting up early and driving ‘downtown’ so we could get a good spot. My father often took a step ladder when we were small so that we could see everything and take up very little space.  After Santa went in through Eaton’s Toyland window we would all stream in to visit him and see all the wonderful things for Christmas. A most magical day.
