Celebrating (III)

Christmas

Carlos Sainz Jr

You spend the 25th with your families. Like, extended families. Aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents - everyone is there from both of your sides. You two barely get a couple of chances throughout the night to be alone, just enough to exchange your gifts and a few longing and lingering touches that definitely heat up the general atmosphere.

Charles Leclerc

Since you both stay with your families in two different places (ideally: Monaco and Italy), you wish each other a merry Christmas on the phone and video call when you get each other's presents. 

"Joyeaux Noël, bébé. You didn't need to send me anything, you know. Seeing how beautiful you look is enough." (His cheeks are as red as Santa's vest when he says this.)

Daniel Ricciardo

Wearing matching Christmas-themed sweaters (you usually get to be the butt of the reindeer, shameful) at dinner with your friends. Alcohol: check. Embarrassing stories: check. Singing "All I want for Christmas is you" WAY out of tune on top of tables: check.

George Russell

You spend the whole day together since you're both going to be with your own families the night. It starts with a nice hot chocolate for breakfast, perfect for the gift exchange as well, then a walk down Oxford Street while he helps with your super last-minute presents. Also, I feel like ice skating would be your thing (lots of "Night changes" official video by One Direction vibes, but hopefully in this case none of you ends up in the hospital).

Lando Norris

He's a kid, so he experiences Christmas like a kid - milk and cookies, waiting up for Santa on the 24th, literally cries if it doesn't snow. You make sure he never misses any of those steps because you love how happy he looks when he gets to do all that. Yet, you still remind him every year that Santa doesn't exist just to vex him, and he holds it against you until he unwraps your gift. Anyways, although you don't always spend Christmas together, his family never fails to invite you over for dinner. 

Lewis Hamilton

Flying to New York because it's not Christmas if you don't spend the 24th in the middle of Times Square and the morning of the 25th eating a pretzel in front of Tiffany's.

Max Verstappen

His father hosts a great dinner every year, inviting his closest friends, celebrities, and sponsors. Of course, you're not on the guest list. It's totally fine with you because you get to celebrate with your parents anyway, but then Max shows up saying he ditched his father and he'd like to spend it with you if you'll have him (which you do, obviously).

Pierre Gasly

Do I hear awful versions of Christmas songs in French? (I'm kidding you guys, just in case any of you are French.) Yes, I do. You both love Christmas, the whole process - the tree, the decorations, the music, the colorful wrapping paper. And most of all, you like to celebrate it differently every time. One year you stay in Milan on your own, you get invited by your folks the other, and the one after that involves a flight to his hometown.
