Hello, Maxime here, and it’s my first time writing the family’s Christmas message. I have no idea how they trusted me to do it—I usually end up breaking things and causing chaos. But all I have to do is shine my signature smile and squint my eyes to have them wrapped around my little finger again.

Back to the story… No one has to tell me how precious life is or how blessed we are to be in this world. Mami and Daddy encourage us to take advantage of exploring it, learning from it, and discovering our place in it! So every chance we get, we pack our bags and get ready for an adventure. This year, among friends, we explored the volcanoes of Guatemala, the cedars of Lebanon, and the desert dunes of Morocco! But my and Basti’s favorite part? Having family and friends along for the ride—and at the destination, of course!

This Christmas, as in my first one outside Mami’s tummy, we send all those we love in the world our warmest wishes!

Love you to the moon & back!
