This year, I'm flying over Christmas Eve, so arriving Christmas Day. We're staying in the Opera/Grand Magasins area so we're hoping to find something casual nearby for dinner that evening.
Ethnic food may be your best bet. You may want to give Arvind a ring at Gandhi Ji's to see if they're open (it's my favorite Indian restaurant in Paris).

Maybe also ask you hotel if they know of anything open. It may also be worth a stroll in the Marais Jewish quarter.
