Santa Flies Over The Champs Élysées

Wonderful day wandering the streets of Paris, attending the Musee d'Orsay,seeing Sarkozy fly by in a motorcade,and stumbling on a fabulous Christmas celebration along the Seine. We wandered from booth to booth checking out the wares and the food, planning to pop by later for a quick crepe or chocolate, warmed wine or a punch. It was fun to see the sparkling lights and hear carols in French and English. There was a high wire act where a real live Santa flies in a sleigh across the street while suspended. The shouts of joy and real excitement from all the little ones surrounding us reminded me how important Christmas is to so many children around the world. I was truly feeling the old Christmas spirit. How wonderful and fortunate we are to be able to be here in Paris to see the fun! Joyeaux Noel!
