Original Toronto Star caption: Can Santa be far behind? A reminder that jolly gent in the bulky red suit will be parading through Toronto streets one week from tomorrow in the annual Santa Claus parade was brought home to shoppers last night when the Yonge St. Christmas lights were turned on. The seasonal illumination, stretching from King to College Streets, gives a delightful Yuletide air to our downtown.
