My boyfriend hums Jingle Bells year around. Strange boy.

Thanks

Eurovision this year had 39 countries enter (a few dropped out for financial reasons, and there's usually some issue with at least one country dropping out for political or religious reasoning, Turkey being one due to a lesbian kiss this year!), there are two semi finals and and a grand final. There are various rules governing how a country can enter a singer or band.

Italy, United Kingdom, Germany, France and Spain automatically qualify for the final as the "Big Five" who help bankroll the show. The host country is also automatically entered in to the final, so this year, Sweden. The other countries are split between the semi finals and have to be voted through to the final.

All countries can vote in the final, but not for their own country, and award points from 12 points descending. The UK's entries are historically... questionable in style and taste! We usually pick a favourite from another country

We use to watch it every year as a family when I was younger, so we've carried the tradition on. It's often cheesy, sometimes very well done, but always fun Sweden did a splendid job of hosting this year! They have a YouTube channel if you are curious

Me, an SG? I don't think so! Might do some more modelling shots this year, if I have time and inclination though
