Staff Writer

Let the countdown to your time off begin. It is time to get excited as there are so many incredible things to do in Ottawa this weekend, from November 20 to 22.

If you are already in the holiday spirit, why not pick up a Christmas tree? Many of the local tree farms open this Saturday, and one top pick is Thomas Tree Farm, as they will give you a mug of hot chocolate and a delicious cookie to enjoy.

Or you could treat yourself to a box of sugary delights. You can feel like you are brunching in London and order Fairmont Chateau Laurier high tea to go. It comes with an assortment of sandwiches, bite-sized desserts, and tea to enjoy in your living room.
