~ Merry Christmas 2013 ~
As u see the crowd in the picture , yes ! We went to the Christmas Market on the Avenue des Champs-Elysées !! :D
This is the largest Christmas market in Paris. The market stretches from the Champs-Elysées roundabout (Metro Champs Elysées-Clémenceau) to the Place de la Concorde (Metro Concorde). Actually it open from November 15th, 2013 through January 5th, 2014, but we choose to come here on the Christmas Day :D Moreover, it open daily from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm, and Fridays and Saturdays until midnight.
All the stalls having a beautiful decoration and you may found some interesting goods :)

The mini Amusement Park
" Each year during the festive season, the various districts in Paris are decorated with Christmas lightsand festive decorations. In the 8th arrondissement, the decorations on the Avenue des Champs Elysées are the most exceptional and impressive in the whole city.The 200 plane trees of the Champs-Elysées in Paris are illuminated each year with a clever lighting design. Glittering garlands and rings around the trees (with red, green and blue LEDs), run the length - 2.4 km - of the Champs Elysées, from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Concorde. Every half hour, the 4,000 garlands and the rings slowly change colour, from white to purple and then red. "

So, we was there during the time when the garlands and the rings was in blue and white color.
We had lots of fun in the market. It's was awesome that we can spent our Christmas night here. It doesn't mean that we went anywhere but "Christmas in Paris" , the thing itself is already like a dream came true :)
Still, at last but not least,
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR !! ♥
