The ESCToday team would like to wish each and everyone of you a Merry Christmas! All over the world everyone gathers under the same roof, whether it is friends or family during the Christmas season. We wish you all the best of health, happiness, prosperity, wealth, love and peace. May all your wishes come true in 2018!

We would like to wish all our readers all over the world:

Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noël, Feliz Natal, Frohe Weihnachten, God Jul, Vrolijk kerstfeest, Καλά Χριστούγεννα, Sretan Bozic, Crăciun fericit, Priecīgus Ziemassvētkus, С Рождеством Христовым, З Різдвом Христовим, Hyvää Joulua! Щасливого Різдва!

At Christmas, friends and family unite together to celebrate under the same roof. The Eurovision Song Contest is very similar, as singers, fans and delegations from all over Europe unite together during 2 weeks under the same roof sharing the beautiful language of music!

In 2017, Kyiv played host to the Eurovision Song Contest for the second time in Eurovision history thanks to Jamala’s magnificent victory in 2016. UA:PBC and Ukraine mesmerised Europe with a dazzling and exciting show. Delegations, singers and fans were treated to the best of Ukrainian  hospitality.

Salvador Sobral charmed Europe with the beauty of his song Amar pelos dois, giving Portugal its first Eurovision victory and thus taking us to magnificent Lisbon in the new year.

The Portuguese capital will have the honour of welcoming the Eurovision razzmatazz for the very first time in Eurovision history in 2018.

With love,

The ESCToday team
