Is this crazy? Today is already the first Advent! 🕯️
Yo, time is really flying by like crazy. Feels like it was just summer yesterday and now there are Christmas trees everywhere. But that's also pretty nice, right?
I just wanted to send you some real Christmas greetings - not some marketing stuff, but from the heart. You're super important to me and without you, none of this would be anything.
The dark season can sometimes be really tough. I know that too. But we'll get through it together! And Christmas is coming soon - time for family, friends and hopefully some peace and quiet.
If you're not doing so well right now: You are not alone. Never. We are a community and we stick together.

I gotta tell you something mega important. If you're alone on Christmas Day or just don't know what to do – then I've got something crazy for you!
SchalkesOpa is doing a concert starting at 8 PM here on my channel. For real! It's gonna be so good, bro.
I know Christmas can sometimes be really hard. When everyone's talking about family and you feel alone - I know that feeling. But you're not alone. Never. We're here, yo!
Mark it down: Christmas Day, 8 PM. SchalkesOpa sings, the chat is open and we're there for each other. It's gonna be mega nice.

Tomorrow it finally starts! Yo, you can try 24 times to grab something. This is gonna be awesome!
What you can win:
- One of my songs to download (just random, we'll see which one)
- My quote coffee mug (coffee tastes better with it, for real)
- A limited edition calendar (only available here with us)
- And if you don't win - you still get one of my quotes as a consolation prize
Crazy, right? Something new to try every day. This is gonna work out!
I'm super excited about this time with you. Stay with me, yeah?
Yo, in case you missed it - my Christmas album is out! 🎄
For real, this is so crazy for me. You can listen to it everywhere you want. Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, YouTube Music - it's all there! And you know what's mega? This thing is online on 78 platforms worldwide. WORLDWIDE, dude!
When I heard it for the first time, I thought: "No way, really?" A boy from Gelsenkirchen and his music is playing all over the world. That still blows my mind.
You can also go to my shop and buy the album there and download it as MP3 files.
Guys, mega crazy how cool you all are! 💙
Yo, our SchalkesOpa is working like crazy on the homepage right now. The thing is supposed to be ready for 2026 and hey, sometimes things go wrong. Like recently when the shop was dead for 24 hours - crazy, right?
But you all stayed so incredibly chill! Instead of getting angry, you just let us know. Thanks, brothers and sisters! That's how we were able to fix everything.
Honestly, I don't even understand how Opa does all this. He's not a programmer or anything, but he's fighting through it like a lion. Sometimes things just don't run perfectly - that's normal.
Please keep it up! If you notice anything, write to us. We're not mad, on the contrary - you're helping us a lot!
We'll get through this, together.
Once again from the heart: Thanks for being so patient.

Yo, I gotta tell you something - I'm really not a winter kid, bro. Like, really not. When it's cold and rainy outside, nothing works for me. Don't get me wrong - snow with sunshine and blue sky, that's really awesome. But like right now? Nah man, just gray and wet... super annoying.
So I thought I'd throw in some pictures from this summer for you. I know you like looking at them! 😊 And I also like thinking back to the warm days when everything was so much more relaxed.
Sometimes you just need a bit of sunshine in your head, even when everything's gray outside, right? I'm sure you feel the same way.

I have a question for you. You know that with every newsletter I try to give you really cool content. But now I'm thinking - should I maybe include some pictures of myself too?
For real, not because I think I'm so mega important or anything. Just nice pictures, you know? Maybe from training, or when I'm walking through Gelsenkirchen again, or just moments where I think "Hey, that actually looks pretty nice".
But I don't want to do anything you don't want. This is for you, brothers and sisters! If you're into it, I'll do it. If not, that's cool too - then I'll keep focusing on the stories and stuff.
Just write me back, yeah? Tell me honestly what you think about it. Would be really cool to know what you like.
And now, before we're done, here's another hint:

Yo, a few of the calendars are still available!
MAXR Calendar 2026 Limited Edition - mega awesome with hologram and everything. This thing even has a certificate of authenticity, so it's a real collector's item. SchalkesOpa numbered and signed each one by hand. The guy is a legend!
And you know what's the best part? I'll be at your place for a whole year. 365 days. That's pretty crazy when I think about it.
If you still want one - they're gone when they're gone. But only if you want.
Hey my family,
so, that's it with this newsletter.
Yo, before we wrap up here, I gotta tell you something: THANK YOU. For real, thanks for everything! Whether you sent me money, left Supers, became a channel member or joined the Fan Club - you're amazing!
And then all those who bought my music, my books or the merch - brothers and sisters, without you nothing works here! You make it possible for me to keep going and for us to have the coolest community in the whole world. That's no joke, I mean it!
I'm from Gelsenkirchen, you know? And Schalke is going up! 💙 Everything is happening here right now and you're a huge part of it.
Thanks for staying with me. Thanks for being real. You are my family!
Glück auf!
Your Max
