We intend to make this Christmas column contemplative.

Others like to gossip.

We, on the other hand, are pleased that billionaire Calvin Lo, who wants to found a Formula 1 racing team, wants to bring Mick Schumacher to the team, according to Das Neue, who is "an amazing driver and a very friendly person".

We also refrain from any skepticism as to whether friendliness is a good qualification for Formula 1 business, but will welcome it if the friendly Mick voluntarily switches to the right lane so that others can pass by.

We are also glad that Boris Becker can enjoy Christmas Eve in freedom, and we would never write that his extensive Sat.1 interview after his release seemed almost as long to some viewers as the seven and a half months that Becker only had had to sit down.

In prison, Becker was used, among other things, as an English (!) and maths (!!) teacher and now knows: "I can only spend what I earn." A realization that ordinary people usually come to a little earlier reach.

Becker summarizes the time in the cell as follows: “You go up the wall – which is not particularly high.” Sounds like an easier exercise for the former professional athlete.

"Bild" reader Norbert Emrich says about Becker: "Quite a short prison stay.

Hopefully that doesn't motivate other tax evaders." Becker as a motivator who, after tennis, is now making tax evasion a national sport?

You should think twice about that, especially if you hope to be able to spend a few months in England in this way.

In the end, you're more likely to end up in Bremervörde or Bruchsal.

An absolute relationship type

We are also optimistic about the future of Stefan Mross, whose third marriage has failed, but about whom "Die Aktuell" writes: "Since he is an absolute relationship type, it shouldn't be too long before he also finds us a new girlfriend presented.” She will certainly open her heart to him when he tells her: “By the way, I'm a total relationship guy.

I've had dozens!”

Actor Peter Sattmann sees himself as a loner and tells the "Golden Leaf": "For example, I find it a kind of bondage when you have to make an appointment." meet.

His colleague Katrin Sass, who only sees good things in giving up alcohol, thinks in a similar way: “I used to always need people around me.

It's very different today.

I enjoy being alone!”, she tells “Das Neue”.

Seems she's weaned herself off people as well as drinking.

"Family growth on four legs"

It's also cute that "Bild" calls Wolfgang Bosbach a "political legend" - a title that you've already earned through a few years as deputy parliamentary group leader and hundreds of visits to talk shows.

Whereby "Bild" does not shy away from presenting its own editor-in-chief on its "Herz für Kinder" pages under the title "These stars are on the phone for you today".

Even more legendary, as party leader and federal minister, would have to be Christian Lindner.

"Bunte" writes about him and his wife Franca Lehfeldt: "Family growth on four legs - great!" At first we thought the two would have twins, but they only bought one horse.

In addition, "Bunte" can be described as the Sunday ritual by Philipp Demeter, director of jewels and watches at the auction house Sotheby's: He spreads out all his wristwatches in front of him, takes "every watch in his hand, winds it up, puts it and thinks about which one I'm going to wear next week".

Does the Schiesser boss, for example, have a similar ritual with his underwear?

According to "Bunte", Tom Kaulitz replied to his wife Heidi Klum's desire to have children "that it would soon be 'sexgiving'" – an "allusion to the American holiday Thanksgiving and a clear yes to sweet married life".

Which, if it's limited to one day a year, doesn't seem to differ much from normal citizens.

Singer Antonia reveals "Bild" "how it works best with the holiday erotic despite the stress".

She recommends fiery food and "music by Robbie Williams, Joe Cocker or the Toten Hosen".

We would have taken this band name as a bad omen in the relationship, but now we remember the many erotic hits like "Here comes Alex", "Get up when you're on the ground", "Everything happens" and of course "Until bitter end".

Fellow musician Drake, who knows "OK!", has "a necklace where each of the 42 diamonds represents a woman he once wanted to propose to."

It would be delightful if he gave this special piece to his loved ones in front of the Christmas tree: "Look here, darling.

I'm an absolute relationship guy.” Happy Holidays!
