I'll be opening more doors on the Get It On advent calendar next week. Mind you I'm still not sure whether they are doors or windows. I have been wimping out and tend to refer to them as doors in one hour and windows in the other just to be sure. There have been plenty treats behind the doors slash windows this week and hopefully there will be more of the same next week.
We start on Monday with the legendary double issue Christmas Radio Times which hits the shops this weekend. That's led me to suggest a theme of other newspapers and magazines in song.
Will you ask for the tabloid favourite, Here Comes THE SUN, settle down with a copy of the GUARDIAN Angel or is Scott Walker's JACKIE your all time favourite publication?
Bryan's newsagent opens for business at ten past six on Monday....
