Today in Toronto Casa Loma gets lit! Or should we say, transformed into a magical Christmas wonderland with hundreds of lights covering the castle and its grounds. Walk around outside and then head indoors to see the halls decked out with over the top decorations and Christmas trees.

This Is Us - Artists Unwrap the Family Portrait (December 7 @ Gladstone Hotel)
What happens when artists take the tradition of the family holiday photo to a whole other level with humour, absurdity and complexity? Just in time for the holiday season, the Gladstone Hotel presents this exhibition that looks at how two artist couples have represented themselves to family and friends over the course of more than a dozen consecutive years of staging and presenting family holiday portraits. Find kitschy snacks and festive sips at the opening on the second floor gallery at 7 p.m.
All Tchaikovsky (December 7 @ Roy Thomson Hall)
As a twist on your typical holiday show, check out this all-Tchaikovsky concert from Moscow-born pianist Lukas Geniuas, co-winner of the silver medal at the 2015 Tchaikovsky International Competition. Other talented soloists will perform and the TSO Chamber Soloists will give a free pre-concert performance in the auditorium at 6:45 p.m.
Hannah Georgas (December 7 @ Mod Club Theatre)
Originally from Newmarket and now based in Vancouver, indie-pop singer-songwriter Hannah Georgas performs songs from her 2016 album For Evelyn. Doors are at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. She's been nominated for a handful of Junos and this record was produced in collaboration with Graham Walsh of Holy Fuck.
EcoBunk 2016 (December 7 @ Lula Lounge)
Since 1990, Torontonians have come to EcoBunk to poke fun at the most outrageous corporate green advertising of the past year. The 2016 EcoBunk Awards will continue the tradition of awarding excellence in deceptive, confusing and environmentally-compromising advertising. It's $25 for standing room and $50 for seats at this hilarious night evening of satire.
