娱乐英语新闻:Kate Winslet Unveils Christmas Window Displays for Store in Paris

BEIJING, Nov.7 (Xinhuanet) -- British actress Kate Winslet was in Paris on Friday to unveil Christmas window displays at one of Paris' famous department stores.

The Oscar winner showed up before curtains were opened on fairy-tale scenes of dancing and flying puppets.

It has been a long tradition - and a competition - for Paris' department stores to offer the best show, using puppets and other mechanical devices to attract shoppers and give out a bit of magic. And clearly, it works.

"It makes me think of Christmas and it's beautiful, it makes me want to get loads of presents and I think it is really well made, it's for everybody and... it's magical."

It's been reported that one of the stores has used eight kilometers of fairy lights, nearly 200 thousand LED bulbs and 8 thousand flowers to decorate the windows and the building.
