One of my favourite things in Paris is the Christmas markets that are open this time of year. The one along the Champs Elysee is best visted at night. The lights are all up and the streets are simply magical :) I visited the market with a few friends and we shared some churaus and I had my necessary hot wine. The little booths are set up along both sides of the street. Some have chocolates, so have candies, some have candles, or scarfs, other great gifts. This year they also had a section of ice sculptures (of course it was 14 euros to go in so I passed) but the idea along was cool. They also had a live animal nativity with yaks and such. It was also interesting that they added a kids section with moon bounces, and climbing things. They even had one of those large luge slides, where you slide down on a rug thing. It was funny to see it in the middle of the Christmas huts. However it was nice to see that they had a photo with Santa booth. I just like walking up and down the market streets, and enjoying the christmas atmosphere. This is one thing I wish I could find more of back in Canada. It is the closest I get to the Christmas spirit here!
