Although December means shopping lists, crowded malls and frenzied buying sprees (our holiday gift guide can help), it’s worth taking some time to indulge in a little window shopping, too. Retailers put out their most show-stopping window displays at this time of the year, and an evening stroll past glowing paper snowflakes, glamorous snow days and cozy faux-fires provides a surefire shot of holiday spirit. Here are some of our favourites from around the city.

Love it. SO beautiful :-) I like the Holidays decoration
Am is missing something?
Nice shots but where are the names of the shops/addresses associated with each window? Is it possible to get that info? Or, am I just so technologically ‘void’ that I couldn’t figure out how to find it? Computers aren’t my thing so I may just have missed it all.
Thanks for your help.

OOOPS!
OK…found it! Duh! I really AM dense when it comes to this stuff.
Thanks anyway but no need to reply to my first post.
Have a wonderful holiday season.
K.
My favourite is the one with the birdcages.
