If you missed all or some of the awesome fun and the great music you voted for, we're replaying the countdown in its entirety. The 10 hour musical and social media extravaganza begins right after Steve Cutways Canadian Christmas special at midnight Eastern as we head into Christmas morning, that's 5 AM in the UK, 6 PM in New Zealand.

Do tune in to hear the songs everyone voted for as well as some of the silliness that accompanied the music by way of our Christmas party.

One more chance to hear the 2019 countdown, exclusive to Mushroom FM.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. The time when you make a list, we check it twice, and we count down the top 100 holiday songs as chosen by you.

As part of the fun, everyone who voted received an invitation to our Christmas party. If you forgot to vote, well, you're probably on Santa's naughty list, but tomorrow we will be able to allocate you a seat at a table if you ask nicely.

There’s not long left! You have until the end of Friday US Eastern time to vote for your top 10 Christmas songs. The consequences of voting are enormous. You contribute to our top 100 countdown which we play this Sunday, and you also score yourself an invitation to our Christmas party.

There’s still time to vote in Mushroom FM’s holiday countdown and to receive an invitation to our Christmas party. But time is running out rapidly with votes closing at the end of Friday 20 December Eastern US time.

IN this series over the last couple of days, we’ve discussed the process of making the list, checking it at least twice, and choosing the selections we’ll play this Sunday starting at 9 AM Eastern based on your votes.

You have until midnight US Eastern time this Friday to cast your votes in Mushroom FM’s holiday countdown and receive an invitation to our CHristmas party where we play the top 100 on 22 December.

From a listener’s perspective, you may think that this show would be an easy one for the fun guys to prepare for. After all, the listeners are in charge of what songs make the chart, so that’s the music taken care of, right? Well, it’s not quite that simple.

Voting closes in Mushroom Fm's holiday countdown and Christmas party this Friday at midnight US Eastern time. If you haven't voted yet, it's an accessible process that won't take you too long. Visit http://MushroomFM.com/countdown2019

Our holiday countdown and Christmas party's a tradition we've run for some years now. Our aim is that for you, participation is easy, festive and fun. But there's a lot going on behind the scenes.

Dude! I mean, … … dude! We are getting inexorably closer to the moment where the big fat fellow comes down the chimney, leaves you toys and rinks the beer you left out for him. Dude! So there’s plenty of festive fun to be had on this week’s edition of The Mosen Explosion.

That means we are getting even closer to votes closing in this year’s Mushroom FM holiday countdown and Christmas party. All you have to do to score yourself a much sought-after invitation to said party is cast your vote for your top 10 holiday songs. Hurry!

There’s no doubt we’re well into the season now. Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la la. So what better way to feel the festive spirit than donning that gay apparel, being sure you’ve voted in the Mushroom FM Christmas countdown for 2019, and joining me for another four hours of great conversation and music on The Mosen Explosion.

I’ll be playing plenty of festive favourites and telling you about a few technology adventures I’ve had this week. There are plenty of listener contributions and questions already.

The holidays are all about traditions and rituals. Turkey, mistletoe, Santa and more. And we're proud that Mushroom FM has become part of a tradition that's now looked forward to by many. The Mushroom FM Holiday Countdown and Christmas party is back yet again for 2019, where we're making a list, checking it twice, and presenting a 10-hour extravaganza of the top 100 holiday songs as determined by our listeners.

Will 2018's number one Christmas song, "A Maori Christmas", reign supreme once again? Or will there be a new Christmas number one to knock Billy T. James off his perch?

I’ve been doing this radio malarkey in various forms for about 46 years now, which is truly scary and ridiculous. And one of the things that I know causes all sorts of argument is the question of when to dust off the Christmas music.

I have a clear rule in Mosen Towers, the 25th of November, one month before the jolly old fat fellow comes down the chimney and brings me masses of electronics, is the right day to start playing it. So I’m already feeling festive as we prepare to introduce some festive tunes into the Mosen Explosion mix.
