Finally the Christmas tree is up at the Eaton Centre. Last year, the theme was gold baubles and Swarovski crystals. The year, we have big bows, red baubles and the Swarovski crystals are back again.
I'm not sure which tree I like better, although the red baubles have a more festive air.
Once again, though, political correctness and multicultural censoring is on display in Toronto. The Eaton Centre website calls the tree the "Swarovski Crystal Wish Tree." Eaton's, along with Swarovski, will donate $100,000 to the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada.
A Christmas tree becomes a "Wish Tree" and Santa's absence is bought with $100,000. I wonder when there finally will be no "Wish Tree" since it has too strong a resemblance to Christmas? Perhaps next year, we will just be left with the ungainly reindeer that are hanging over the banisters, with Santa still conspicuously absent.
