Tree in atrium
Toronto Western Hospital tree. Doing atrium work here. A big city hospital is a giant machine, this tree provides a brief oasis. Slight lean, like all of us. Fewer balls this year due to provincial underfunding of public heath system. 13/10

Nuthouse health food store tree. Bloor West. Lean & tight, this tree wakes early & is in bed by 10. Underneath, Santa will place Amy’s burritos, bulk peanut butter, raw honey & mushroom extract. Organic cocktails for the elves & flaxseed for the reindeer. 11/10

Tree next to large small shuttle model
Spin Master toy company lobby tree. Meccano space shuttle category. Supernova tree topper on sleek tree sharing same cool high tech aesthetic as shuttle. A defiant statement in support of NASA-era science in a rude Space X world. All trees are political. 12/10

Xmas tree display in mall w Santa and snowmen and presents
Shops at Aura tree. Snow dusted wonderland under (for now) Canada’s tallest residential bldn. Formal skirt transitions to snow fam exploding w uncontainable joy in witnessing drive-by action Santa. A perfect scene to visit & revisit, each time seeing more. 11/10

I’m actually a big fan of this ‘tree’ on the Kingsway.
I’m glad #EveryCorporateChristmasTreeinToronto moved to this social platform this year.
Lobby trees and Christmas

Lobby trees and Christmas
Hotel with the most: the Royal York. Basically the mothership of secular Christmas in Toronto. A spectacle of enormous detail & scale. Vignettes. Menageries. It’s all here. 17/10
#EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto
Golden Dior tree surrounded by crowd
Dior Distillery District tree. The Mona Lisa of Toronto trees. A Prêt-à-Porter tree w ostentatious, almost desperate couture aspirations. It’s a new money tree, like a brash DIOR belt buckle you can’t ignore. 11/10
#EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto
Tree in consulate waiting room
Maltese consulate tree. Diplomatic tree, a sub-government tree category. Malta hasn’t many trees itself so the tree itself is allowed to really be the star here, eschewing the usual Maltese impulse to go full on baroque. 13/10
#EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto
Green trees reflected in rainy td plaza
TD Centre trees. The Mies of trees. More is always more at Christmastime. Green slashes like shards of money amid Toronto’s best bank towers. The perfect trees. 14/10

#EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto is how I know if Cumberland Terrace (a haunt of my yoof) is still alive and kicking?
As social media holiday traditions go it's hard to beat @shawnmicallef.bsky.social's #EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto.
This annual treat #EveryCorporateChristmasTreeinToronto is part of MY Christmas joy!!
This the best thing to follow during the Holiday Season #EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto
Grocery store, tree + Santa
Nosso Talho Bloor St Santa + Tree. Portuguese grocery store category. Narrow tree for downtown shop, no sprawl SUV tree here. Maximum Xmas efficiency. Skirt just a flash of red. Take a number or two for this Santa. 12/10
#EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto
North York Centre Novotel Tree. Hotel tree category. Home away from home tree, designed not to offend, much like the art in a hotel room. Modest skirt but a bit of brashness w the garland - surely Mel Lastman’s spirit lives on here. 11/10
#EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto
Small xmas tree & menorah, both a little tippy
During bad times the trees have to work extra hard. The ecumenical scene in the Metro Central YMCA men’s change room is the hardest working in the city. Joy & light into the darkness. The things this display has seen. 🎄 13/10
#EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto
With the migration to BlueSky, I really hope it might mean a return of @shawnmicallef.bsky.social #EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto and @rhodri.biz #DuvetKnowItsChristmas - they are my favorite holiday traditions 🥰
