Feeling S.A.D.? Toronto's Christmas spirit wore off weeks ago and waiting outside for the streetcar has become more face-numbing than going to the dentist.

For those who have enjoyed a Sunday at Cherry Beach, dancing to chill beats or relaxing in the shade of the grove, the question among your friends all week has simply been, "Skating?" Tonight from 8 - 11 PM, Promise, known to many as simply "David and Irving", will be hosting this week's installation of DJ Skating Nights at the Harbourfront Centre. Skate to an eclectic mix of reggae, disco, house and techno by your selectors Violet, Benjamin Boles and Jonny White.

Not everyone's December 25th consists of bulging stockings hanging from a mantel, unwrapping presents in the reflection of Christmas tree ornaments, and a grandmother in her pearls and green and red apron carving a turkey at the family dinner. For those not living in a movie, who are boycotting the holidays, or who forgot about Santa’s birthday, Torontoist has the guide to an alternative Christmas.

You blink an eye and ice skating season is over. That being said Ryerson's Lake Devo would make a good roller derby rink, no?

Torontoist happened upon Richmond Hill golden boy Emanuel Sandhu accidentally. In a dizzy fog of self-loathing a few months back, we sat through a full hour of televised ice skating. But our cynical heart was warmed by the bravura performance of Montreal-trained Sandhu, who blew everyone away and took home gold as an alternate. Now, he and the equally cute Cynthia Phaneuf have both won gold at Skate Canada, and Torontoist can only say hurrah. It's nice to see skating elevated from completely unbearable to merely lame by these two beautiful skaters. And we also like that Emanuel Sandhu talks like a seventeen year-old Valley Girl. He's a ditz with a lutz!
