G'day.
Coming up on the Christmas Day edition of Damo's All Day Breakfast, I'll fill you in on the results of the Great Christmas Ham Experiment of 2020. I'll also talk you through doing the Christmas turkey Damo style.

Christmas is a joyous time for many. We gather with friends and family, eat plenty, and value those we have in our lives. Even in regular years, Christmas can be a difficult time for some due to temporary or permanent separation from people who are special. And this is no ordinary year. In many parts of the world, Christmas will be a very different, quieter occasion.

Tomorrow at noon Eastern, Join me, Sara Hillis, as I take a journey through one of the greatest collections of holiday music ever to grace the world of Pop: The Carpenters Christmas Collection. Compiled in 1996, it features both A Christmas Portrait from 1978 and An Old-fashioned Christmas from 1984. Whichever is your favourite of these two albums, you're sure to find good cheer awaiting you.

From this Saturday 26 December, Saturday at the Described Movies will go from two hours to four hours each week.
This means from midnight on the 26th of December and every four hours afterwards, it will be nothing but audio described movies.
This is not a one-time special, but a permanent feature on Mushroom Escape.
We will now be able to bring you longer movies, and in some cases two movies each week.
You will still continue to have the opportunities to catch each film every four hours.

First, we send our best wishes to those in areas where COVID-19 is causing this Christmas to be like no other in living memory. We are grateful that Mushroom FM is still able to play a role. A virtual get-together such as a Mushroom FM special event is ideal for times such as these.

If you didn't vote in our countdown but would like to join in the virtual party, it's not too late and you'd be very welcome. The fun guys will be able to register you during the event and assign you to a table.

Hello there. Sara Hillis here to tell you about Come by the Hills's three-hour folk and Celtic Yuletide extravaganza which is coming up at 8:00 PM Eastern on Sunday, not too long after the conclusion of the fabulous Festive Fungal Holiday Countdown and Christmas party! By then, I think we'll all be ready for some good mulled wine and some awesome Folky seasonal favourites! We'll take a trip through the Oxford Book of Carols, visit A Child's Christmas in Wales with Dylan Thomas, and wassail, wassail all over the town! Oh, the wassailing, I tell you!
