Came to see the christmas tree here recently. I work nearby and the place is always packed during the holidays. Best bet to see it without a crazy crowd is in the morning. At night they turn it off but there are still people hanging around. But if you do come at night. Best to enter from the sides not directly from the avenues. There are also a lot of shops and some underground food shops. You could probably cut to the tree from the walking area underneath and beat most of the tourists.
