A Merry Christmas from Morocco
A Merry Christmas from Morocco
This year, Christmas finds me far from anything traditional — no snow-dusted trees, no familiar routines, no rush to recreate how the holidays are supposed to look.
Instead, I’m here in Morocco, wrapped in warm desert light, wandering ancient streets as the call to prayer drifts gently through the air. There’s a quiet reverence to this place — a softness that invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and listen more closely to yourself.
And honestly? It feels like exactly where I’m meant to be.
When Christmas Looks Different — and Feels Deeper
Christmas here is stripped of excess. There are fewer decorations, fewer expectations, and far more presence. Mornings unfold slowly. Light pours through riad windows. Time feels expansive instead of rushed.
Without the noise of “doing it all,” I’m reminded how little we actually need to feel full.
This kind of celebration doesn’t rely on tradition or familiarity — it’s rooted in intention. In noticing beauty where you are. In honoring the season internally, not just externally.
The Luxury of Freedom and Presence
Travel has always taught me that true luxury isn’t about accumulation — it’s about how you feel. It’s about freedom. Space. Meaning. The ability to choose experiences that nourish your spirit rather than drain it.
Being here reinforces why I believe so deeply in intentional travel — the kind that slows you down, opens your heart, and reconnects you to yourself. The kind that feels grounding rather than performative. Expansive rather than overwhelming.
This Christmas, I feel grateful in a way that’s quiet and steady. Grateful for the privilege of exploring the world. Grateful for cultures that remind me to live more deliberately. Grateful for moments that don’t need documenting to be meaningful.
Wherever You Are This Season
Whether you’re celebrating at home, abroad, or somewhere in between, my wish for you is simple:
May your Christmas be filled with peace.
May you find moments of stillness amid the noise.
May you allow yourself to experience the season in a way that feels true to you.
From Morocco, I’m sending love, light, and a little desert magic your way 🤍✨
Merry Christmas.
