Christmas In Canada

Gifts And Santa

Many Canadians unwrap their gifts on Christmas Eve, while others wait until Christmas Eve to open their stockings. Canadians like sending Holiday cards to their friends and relatives. Others will open one item and save the other gifts until Christmas Day.

Canadians also enjoy putting up Christmas trees, lighting, and other decorations on their homes. Christmas stockings are frequently hung by the fireplace, waiting for Santa! On the other hand, individuals from various cultures have their own Christmas favorites.

If there’s enough snow at Christmas, people want to go skiing, skating, and sledding! Kids in Canada believe in Santa Claus like other children worldwide and take pride that Santa Claus originated from their country.

The Toronto Santa Claus Parade has been one of the world’s oldest and biggest Santa parades! Santa first went through the streets of Toronto in 1913. On the walk, kids followed Santa and paraded beside him. It’s been going on for over a century.

Santa parades have grown into a massive event with over 25 animated floats and over 2000 participants! It’s televised all around the world. The Inuit created the ‘Sinck Tuck’ holiday, now observed in various Canadian regions. Dancing and exchanging gifts are part of this event.
