Why stay home this year and hide from ever-present awful tinsel? Be your own Santa, fly away from holiday blues to a movie world: Morocco. Why Morocco?
***Small accessible country with one medieval scene following another. Ancient desert towns? Walled medinas? Roman outposts? Snow-capped mountains? Tribal henna’s hands?
***Friendly to Westerners: see Sunday’s feature in the NYTimes about a woman visiting Fez solo.
***Access to a UNESCO Heritage church Christmas Eve.
***Wonderful hotels with pampering in the Turkish bath or the jewelry store.
***A group of enthusiastic friendly women to share it all with.
