Balmy Beach gets into the Christmas spirit with Advent calendar house displays

Since the weather will not be frightful these next couple of days, East Toronto residents are invited to Balmy Beach to take in the numerous homes that participated in the community’s annual Advent holiday house decorating.

Residents at participating houses in the area of Hazel Avenue and Fernwood Park Avenue have decorated their homes with a number for each of the 24 days leading into Christmas Day, which takes place on Monday, Dec. 25. There will also be house decorated for Dec. 25.

Each house involved was told what day they would be on the calendar and unveiled their number and display on that particular day.

Beach Metro Community News’ Luanne Pucci has been taking photos as the displays are unveiled each day.

Community members wishing to check out the displays on the neighbourhood houses are welcome to walk the sidewalks of the area and share a little of the holiday spirt in the coming days.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: This story has been updated since originally posted to include photos of the houses decorated for Dec. 22, 23, 24 and 25.)

Here are photos of some of the decorated houses in the Balmy Beach area:

Merry Christmas to all of our readers!
