Christmas is difficult.
Everything that makes this festival attractive in other years has already been too much this year: shrinking the world to the family, peace, comfort, retreat into your own four walls.
Almost every night since March has been a quiet night, at least officially.
It can hardly get any quieter, nor more boring.
Boredom goes well with Christmas.
Everyone knows the story that is told at Christmas.
Every path to this festival seems well-trodden.
Inevitable to get bored with Christmas.
Isn't there still something unknown to discover?
But!
Christmas is the celebration of femininity.
This festival begins with Anna.
The grandmother of Jesus, who absolutely has to be mentioned in the year of the pandemic, in which the holy night could be particularly dangerous for the elderly.
Her name means "the gifted", from Hebrew "chen", a word for "grace".
The biblical evangelists keep Anna silent.
