And here we have it folks. What seemed to be the longest-ever WB was actually one of our least successful ones. There was quite a few of, mmmm, below-par stuff, but the final I think is just fine, except maybeit could have done with a couple of changes, for my taste. But anyway, here we have yet again a brand new player and country winning! Congrats to Ziv who almost by accident ended up playing for Finland. Brought us a pretty cool dark Christmas tune (of course, 'tis WB after all). We see France continuing on the momentum from last time, Bosnia is back kicking and swinging (woo hoo hoo), Germany's in its favorite spot (what's this, the fifth time, Martin? Goodness!) and rounding out the top 5 is Roger with my personal favorite, a wonderful, should we say, alternative take on the Christmas spirit... Well done, everybody, it may have been a boring month, but we can't have a perfect game every time. It was a nice special edition and like holidays usually do, it knocked us down cold. Now, have a little break everyone and see you next year! Keep checking wb18.html and your mailboxes for upcoming news. And don't forget to come up with something exceptional for WB18! Until then, happy holidays!
