by Emerson, age 8 from Toronto, Ontario, asks Santa about The Santa Clause 2 cast, the CN Tower, and Toronto’s Cavalcade of Lights.
Dear Santa, my name is Emerson, and I am eight years old. I live in Toronto, Ontario, where my dad says a tower here used to be the tallest freestanding structure in the entire world.
Dear Emerson, that tower has served as one of my favorite landmarks for a very long time, your dad picked a truly impressive hometown.
Santa, I have three questions.
Who is in the cast of The Santa Clause 2? My sister watches it every year and always cries a little at the wedding scene.
Tim Allen returns as Santa, alongside Elizabeth Mitchell, David Krumholtz, and Eric Lloyd, with Judge Reinhold and Wendy Crewson rounding out the cast. Your sister is not alone, that particular scene tends to catch a few hearts off guard.
My dad says the CN Tower was once the tallest freestanding structure in the whole world. Is that true?
It is true, Emerson, the CN Tower held that title for many years, a truly remarkable feat of engineering rising above your city. I always give it a proud, respectful pass on my way to your rooftop.
My dad says Toronto lights up an enormous Christmas tree downtown every year at a big event called the Cavalcade of Lights. Is that true?
It is true, Emerson, the Cavalcade of Lights is a beloved annual tradition, lighting up a giant tree and fountain at Nathan Phillips Square to officially kick off the holiday season. That kind of whole-city celebration is exactly the sort of thing I love flying over.
Merry Christmas, Santa.
Your friend,
Emerson Clarke
Toronto, Ontario
P.S. Will you bring extra tissues for my sister’s next viewing?
Already packed, Emerson, a thoughtful gift for a tender heart.
