"Teddy Bears are universal icons of love, possessing the moral values of goodness, loyalty and love, but above all, of innocence" Each year companies, organizations and citizens in Toronto join together to imaginatively garland Christmas trees to create the "Festival of Trees". This forest fantasy attracts thousands to the Eaton Centre to marvel at the colourful boughs. Last year - because of my love of Teddy Bears -I decorated a Festival tree with merry Teddy Bears of good cheer and love. Best of all, it was later auctioned off just before Christmas with the proceeds donated to Toronto's wonderful Hospital for Sick Children.
