Favorite Thing: When I visited Toronto in December it was freeeeezing...It didn't snow but there was a kind of white frost on the lawns that just stayed there for days. Now it's no news that that Toronto gets cold in the winter, but what you might not know is that the homes, shops and offices are way overheated.
You come out of these boiling houses and get hit by a blast of icy cold air. The perfect solution is a scarf, which you can pull up over your nose if necessary. Gloves are also a lifesaver. But then you go into a shopping mall and it is HOT. So what do you do with all those Arctic accessories that you peel off one by one? How to insure that you will have your scarf when you need it, and more than one glove by the time you get home?
Rule number one: If you are know you are going to shop, don't overdress. You will curse the day you were born if you head to the mall in a bulky parka. Rule number two: Bring an empty backpack with you to stash all the bits and pieces - coat, gloves, hat, scarf, etc. - until you head out the door.
