LONDON (Reuters) - London department store Selfridges unveiled its Christmas window display on Thursday as British retailers prepare for the busy festive shopping season. The historic store, whose colourful displays draw tourists as well as shoppers, has this year placed red-glitter-clad models of Santa Claus in its main windows. One shows him on the steps of a plane flanked by two blue poodles, while in another he sits in a train carriage. Selfridges, which opened in 1909, opened its Christmas shop in August. Other London retailers are also geared up for the festivities: toy store Hamleys will this month unveil a list of what it expects to be the most popular gifts for children this Christmas.
