“Christmas in Europe…. You said before adding, “a crazy idea”. I love crazy ideas, what’s life without some crazy ideas every now and then. Let’s go to Europe, let’s enjoy Christmas there, the cheerful decorations, the cold fresh breezes, the happy smiles and the picturesque old towns. We will walk for hours along the narrow cobbled streets, may be it will rain a bit to complete the magical romantic scene. We will take photos infront of every ornate cathedral, stop by window shops, pick a small mirror or a ceramic statue of an angel, or a small antique colored glass vase. Even in our dream, we know that when we return to Cairo we won’t have a place to house our tiny souvenirs, but this did not stop us from picking one. This is the beauty of dreams, they are beautiful, spontaneous and fulfilling. We will kiss under every tree, we will be lost in these kisses just as they do in the romantic movies. Long lustful kisses that will redefine the boundaries of love and love making as they call it. We stare at the view while spending most of the day lazy in bed. No rush in dreams, no running from one monument to the other as I usually do, no exchange rates, no limitations on credit cards, no boundaries, no restrictions, no taboos. Only love and it’s freedom, our cultural baggage won’t burden us in this trip, all the people who fill our lives while disappear for these few days, they won’t leave any trace or a memory. The whole world will be you and me, and the old towns of Europe will be celebrating our love, this Christmas will be an excuse to celebrate love, to celebrate freedom, to celebrate dreams. Cups and cups of hot chocolate, loads of croissants and gateaux of every flavor, we both have sweet tooth my love. We will sing together walking along the river, there will be a river in our dream, there has always been a river, we will sing cheerfully, our voices will sound funny, lots of inaccurate melodies, but we will be happy. We will be in the ( here and now) as all my therapists used to advise me. We will forget Egypt, our people, our lives there, we will forget the past and the future, we will choose love and only love to be our guide, companion and path. Years and years after this “Christmas I’m Europe” trip, we will keep remembering it, when we followed our dreams and lived as we had to, when we realized that nothing in life, nothing at all is more important than love, and when we decided to give love a chance, even for a few days in a magical setting.
