Whether you're Scottish or not, it's always fun to celebrate Robbie Burns Day on January 25th. The day is to celebrate the life and death of Robert Burns, the national poet of Scotland who wrote such ditties as Auld Lang Syne and Comin' Thro' the Rye, the poem which is said to have inspired J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye. He is also known for drinking a lot and womanizing even more, and by the time he died at the ripe old age of 37 in 1796, he had fathered nine children.

Here at Torontoist, it is no secret that we love trains. A lot. This is why we are so excited that tomorrow evening, a super trippy lit-up train will roll into the Distillery District at 8:15 PM. The Canadian Holiday Train embarked on its two-week journey across the north on the first of this month and will be stopping in our fair city tomorrow evening, raising money and collecting food donations for Toronto's local food bank.

We want to wish the women (and men) at Shameless magazine a happy second birthday. Over the last two years the mag has been nominated for two awards by the UTNE reader and even voted the best magazine by Now magazine.

They also throw really fun parties.

Sundays are generally awful. Combine the threat of having to work on Monday with the black-eye/STD/hangover from Saturday night, and then add the closure of all the major banks...Sundays are just no fun. Except of course for Superbowl Sunday. This is a day to eat, drink, and yell at the television. Here are the highs and lows of the Superbowl that was:

Just in time for the holidays, Toronto's Mill Street Brewery readies it’s tasty seasonal lager, Helles Bock. Starting in mid-November (like now or pretty close to now), Mill Street's holiday brew will make it’s yearly return to the downtown Toronto micro-brewery, joining Torontoist fav's Coffee Porter and Tankhouse Ale. Since the German-style beer only comes out once a year, Mill St. makes it just a little easier to suck back with a classic stubby bottle. And if stubbies aren't your thing, the brew will also be available in special 11.3L "keggies."
