DAY 7-Christmas Day-December 25th, Part One

We woke up this morning to find Santa had visited! He even ate the cookies and milk Kel had set out the night before:) Kel opened up his presents and was thrilled with what Santa brought!




 Then we walked to the Trocadero Christmas Market again in the morning. We walked around a bit, sampling food and taking in the sights. For lunch, we had a Seine River Lunch Cruise booked. It was amazing! For two and a half hours, we cruised past all the major sights in Paris: the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides (which contains Napoleon's tomb), Notre Dame and the original Statue of Liberty, to name a few. Several courses were served, all alongside red and white wine, and champagne. We started with olive tarts, then scallops with leeks, on to the main course of roast chicken with root vegetables, next, a cheese platter and we finished with a chocolate mousse concoction with pear sorbet. Delicious! During the whole cruise, there was live music accompanied by a singer singing classic french standards: La Vie en Rose, I Love Paris in the Springtime, etc. It really set the tone and made the cruise even more magical!
