I love this event when the Community Folk Art Council of Toronto and its member groups bringings together more then a dosen of different ethnic community Christmas displays at the Annual Christmas Around the World Festival at Toronto City Hall Rotunda.
This year the Russian Folklore Theatre "Russian Style" will be performing there on December the 3rd.
