Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we did our last minute Christmas shopping, mostly in the Saint Germain area. My best find was a cool little papeterie where Julien and I found lots of small presents for people, including a modernist pocket ashtray Julien picked out for his grandad Rick as well as a mirror and measuring tape for Grandmum.

That evening we went out for a stroll down Champs Elysee. It was very fun, everything was open late and the streets were packed full of pedestrians. We even saw Pere Noel speeding down the street with a motorcade! For the full effect we walked down to the Arc de Triomphe before heading home for dinner .

By the way, the horse in the photo was named (at least temporarily) Clown Metro.
