"Krone" commentary
Stable anchor
Christmas with Christmas Eve as the highlight: it is the festival of the year. It remains the festival of the year. And that's a good thing!
What makes Christmas special? It should be a celebration of peace, as Cardinal Christoph Schönborn points out. That doesn't quite work out in reality ... Neither in the world, nor in some families.
It should be a celebration of silence. Even that often only works to a very limited extent. So what remains? A celebration of family, a celebration of traditions and rituals.
That's why we have chosen the motto "Our Christmas" for our "Krone" coverage of this festival. Because on the one hand, Christmas is a celebration for (almost) all Austrians. Even if everyone celebrates their own Christmas and cultivates their own personal traditions.
Most people want Christmas to be the same as always. The way parents and grandparents used to celebrate it. The tree of lights stands in the same place, the same food is served for Christmas Eve as the year before or 20 years ago.
This is how we want Christmas to be: a stable anchor in turbulent times. Merry Christmas from the "Krone" team!
