Crimbovision!
Happy Christmas Eve!
Boom Bang a Blog knows that one thought has been uppermost on your mind as you have queued outside Currys at 5am for the last Wii Fitness in the northern hemisphere, cursed Jamie Oliver for a lack of red cabbage in Britain's supermarkets and worried about how to fit all the roasties in the oven in one go.
And that thought is, obviously; have there ever been any Eurovision songs about Christmas?
Well, quite frankly. No.
But there are some which sound dead Christmassy.
Come now, follow in our Wenceslas-like footsteps, and we'll show you some.
To start with, there's this offering from Yugoslavia in 1968.
It's a pity the lads from Dubrovnik couldn't have taken advantage of the Contest being held in the Albert Hall to nip to Carnaby Street between rehearsals for some trendier togs.
Or there's this from Sweden in 1996, featuring Benny Andersson of ABBA's son and daughter-in-law in the line-up.
That one is rather moody. But if you want something a tad cheesier, here's Sweden again in 1999. And this one won the whole thing...
From me here at Boom Bang a Blog, here's hoping that you and yours have an absolutely smashing Crimbo.
