Politicians show Christmas magic: Who has the most beautiful tree?
On December 25, 2024, Austria's top politicians will be in a contemplative mood after an eventful “super election year” has come to an end. They use the holidays to give a glimpse into their personal lives and share their Christmas spirit with citizens on social media. Styrian Governor Mario Kunasek posted warm Christmas greetings along with a family photo: “Merry Christmas, dear ones!” The mayor of Vienna, Michael Ludwig, and his wife are seen decorating their festively lit Christmas tree, which shines in warm gold and orange tones and symbolizes the security of the Christmas season. This festive joy has apparently led to a Christmas tree duel among politicians, which raises questions: Who has the most beautiful Christmas tree in their living room? This is what oe24 reported.
Political Christmas messages and gratitude
This Christmas, Chancellor Olaf Scholz is emphasizing cohesion in society. “At Christmas we all feel what community and cohesion is – especially after this challenging year,” said his message on Twitter. He wishes people a happy holiday with family and friends and at the same time thanks those who work on the holidays, as mentioned in the Tagesspiegel report. Health care measures remained essential, and Health Minister Karl Lauterbach also thanked the employees who were also on duty over the holidays. “Without people like you, our society couldn’t function,” he emphasized on Twitter.
Finance Minister Christian Lindner also expressed his gratitude by praising the hard-working citizens who work tirelessly for society on Christmas Eve. He describes the holidays as a time for reflection and recovery, especially after such a challenging year. This festive period recognizes the efforts of those who keep the country functioning - an important sign of cohesion in times of crisis.
