Did you know snowflakes almost always have six sides, even though no two look the same?
Kind of like Georgina this time of year — everyone doing their own thing, but still coming together for the season.
Holiday Buzz Builds Across Georgina
Light displays are going up, winter markets are opening, and local makers are getting busy. This week brings art workshops, family swims, tree-lighting fun, and early-December staples like Vintage Christmas and Santa parades.
💡 Why it matters
These local events make winter feel brighter (and shorter).
It’s an easy way to support small businesses, markets, and performers.
A few planned outings now make December feel more relaxed, not rushed.
