Eva Maria Marold - Wine, Smoke, and Purée - a Christmas Special

Every year, important decisions must be made to ensure that Christmas Eve is truly satisfying for everyone. Carp or smoked meat? Socks or a tie? Fir tree or fish? It's an almost impossible task. And yet, every year we put ourselves through this stress. Eva Maria Marold views the whole situation a bit more relaxed. She shares with us the Christmas celebrations of her childhood. In the last century. In Burgenland. Including eggnog excesses, Barbie doll orgies, and failed baking attempts.

The question is explored as to why every year, especially at Christmas time, a horse appears and why in the stable of Battle Ham, the holy couple waits together with Holger, the boy with curly hair, for the kings. Mysteries of a Catholic childhood in Burgenland.

And in the quietest time of the year, she will, of course, passionately – excuse me!!! – fervently perform many well-known Christmas songs together with the Christmas angel Bernhard Macheiner on the keyboard. The two even make music during Advent "come hell or high water!!" and play not only American Christmas classics and folk Christmas songs but also pop ballads that have the potential to become a Christmas hit (it must be written that way, otherwise it turns into "Christmas shit").

Eva and Bernhard promise their audience an unforgettable pre-Christmas evening and that "Last Christmas" by George Michael will definitely not be played!!
